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.

With rewrite.empty-successor=skip, b2 is skipped because it would become empty.

  $ hg rebase -s 2 -d 1 --config rewrite.empty-successor=skip --dry-run
  starting dry-run rebase; repository will not be changed
  rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2"
  note: not rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2", its destination already has all its changes
  dry-run rebase completed successfully; run without -n/--dry-run to perform this rebase

With rewrite.empty-successor=keep, b2 will be recreated although it became empty.

  $ hg rebase -s 2 -d 1 --config rewrite.empty-successor=keep
  rebasing 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2"
  note: created empty successor for 2:6e2aad5e0f3c tip "b2", its destination already has all its changes
