rawdata: introduce a `rawdata` method on revlog

This method aims at replacing `revision(..., raw=True)` call. The purpose of
data returned without and without raw are different enough that having two
different method would make sense.

This split is motivated by other work aiming at storing data on the side of the
main revision of a revlog. Having a cleaner API makes it simpler to add this
work.

The series following this first changesets is organised as follow:
1) add `rawdata` method everywhere it is useful
2) update all caller
3) implement all `rawdata` method without using `revision`
4) deprecate the `rawdata` parameter of `revision`

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
