perf: split obtaining chunks from decompression

Previously, the code was similar to what revlog._chunks() was doing,
which took a raw data segment and delta chain, obtained buffers for
the raw revlog chunks within, and decompressed them.

This commit splits the "get raw chunks" action from "decompress." The
goal of this change is to more accurately measurely decompression
performance.

On a ~50k deltachain for a manifest in mozilla-central:

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).
