pure: write a really lazy version of pure indexObject

On PyPy this version performs reasonably well compared to C version.
Example command is "hg id" which gets faster, depending on details
of your operating system and hard drive (it's bottlenecked on stat mostly)
There is potential for improvements by storing extra as a condensed struct too.

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.
