revlog: fix _cache usage in revision()

As documented at revlog.__init__, revlog._cache stores raw text.

The current read and write usage of "_cache" in revlog.revision lacks of
raw=True check.

This patch fixes that by adding check about raw, and storing rawtext
explicitly in _cache.

Note: it may slow down cache hit code path when raw=False and flags=0. That
performance issue will be fixed in a later patch.

test-revlog-raw now points us to a new problem.

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.
