parsers: use base-16 trie for faster node->rev mapping

This greatly speeds up node->rev lookups, with results that are
often user-perceptible: for instance, "hg --time log" of the node
associated with rev 1000 on a linux-2.6 repo improves from 0.3
seconds to 0.03.  I have not found any instances of slowdowns.

The new perfnodelookup command in contrib/perf.py demonstrates the
speedup more dramatically, since it performs no I/O.  For a single
lookup, the new code is about 40x faster.

These changes also prepare the ground for the possibility of further
improving the performance of prefix-based node lookups.

  $ "$TESTDIR/hghave" inotify || exit 80
  $ hg init
  $ touch a b
  $ hg add a b
  $ rm b

status without inotify

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "inotify=" >> $HGRCPATH

inserve

  $ hg inserve -d --pid-file=hg.pid 2>&1
  $ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"

status

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  ? hg.pid
  $ sleep 1

Are we able to kill the service? if not, the service died on some error

  $ kill `cat hg.pid`
