revlog: introduce an explicit tracking of what the revlog is about

Since the dawn of time, people have been forced to rely to lossy introspection
of the index filename to determine what the purpose and role of the revlog they
encounter is. This is hacky, error prone, inflexible, abstraction-leaky,
<insert-your-own-complaints-here>.

In f63299ee7e4d Raphaël introduced a new attribute to track this information:
`revlog_kind`. However it is initialized in an odd place and various instances
end up not having it set. In addition is only tracking some of the information
we end up having to introspect in various pieces of code.

So we add a new attribute that holds more data and is more strictly enforced.
This work is done in collaboration with Raphaël.

The `revlog_kind` one will be removed/adapted in the next changeset. We expect
to be able to clean up various existing piece of code and to simplify coming
work around the newer revlog format.

Initial setup.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ touch thefile
  $ hg ci -A -m 'Initial commit.'
  adding thefile

Create a tag.

  $ hg tag branchortag

Create a branch with the same name as the tag.

  $ hg branch branchortag
  marked working directory as branch branchortag
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -m 'Create a branch with the same name as a tag.'

This is what we have:

  $ hg log
  changeset:   2:10519b3f489a
