filelog: don't crash on invalid copy metadata (issue5748) "copy" and "copyrev" are both supposed to appear next to each other. However, a user report demonstrated a crash that indicates that something in the wild is producing "copy" without "copyrev" (probably `hg convert`). While we should definitely fix the source of the bad metadata, the bad code causing the crash is already in the wild and who knows how many repositories are impacted. So let's be more defensive when accessing the file revision metadata.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

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).
