perf: store reference to revlog._chunkraw in a local variable

To prepare for renaming revlog._chunkraw, we stuff a reference to this
metho in a local variable. This does 2 things. First, it moves the
attribute lookup outside of a loop, which more accurately measures
the time of the code being invoked. Second, it allows us to alias
to different methods depending on their presence (perf.py needs to
support running against old Mercurial versions).

Removing an attribute lookup from a tigh loop appears to shift the
numbers slightly with mozilla-central:

$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
