revlog: reset _nodepos after strip

When using the pure revlog parser, _nodepos is used to keep track of the
position during index scanning in the non-cached cache. If it is out of
bounds, BaseIndexObject._fix_index will assert. Since strip can actually
remove the position scanned last, make sure to reset it. Add an
assertion in the place where the invariance is clearer.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
