stream-clone: avoid opening a revlog in case we do not need it

Opening an revlog has a cost, especially if it is inline as we have to scan the
file and construct an index.

To prevent the associated slowdown, we just do a minimal scan to check that an
inline file is still inline, and simply stream the file without creating a
revlog when we can.

This provides a big boost compared to the previous changeset, even if the full
generation is still penalized by the initial gathering of information.

All benchmarks are run on linux with Python 3.10.7.
# benchmark.name             = hg.exchange.stream.generate
# benchmark.variants.version = v2

### Compared to the previous changesets

We get a large win all across the board!

### Compared to 6.4.3

We are still significantly slower than 6.4.3, the extra time is usually twice
slower than the extra time we observe on the locked section, which is a quite
interesting information.

Except for mercurial-central that is much faster. That discrepancy is not really
explained yet.
