revlog: move the `deltachain` method on the inner object

This is a necessary step before being able to move more logic around restoring
a revision content there.

For now, we do a simple patch for the perf extension logic, when the
implementation of the inner object changes, we will likely need some evolution
of the API. However this is true of many things in the perf extension. So we
will see this later.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
