rev-branch-cache: reenable memory mapping of the revision data

Now that we are no longer truncating it, we can mmap it again.

This provide a sizeable speedup on repository with a very large amount of
revision for example for a mozilla-try clone with 5 793 383 revisions, this
provide a speedup of 5ms - 10ms. Since they happens within the "critical" locked
path during push. These miliseconds are important.

In addition, the v3 branchmap format is use the rev-branch-cache more than the
v2 branchmap cache so this will be important.

On smaller repository we consistently see an improvement of one or two percents,
but the gain in absolute time is usually < 10 ms.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
