sidedata: add a `decode_files_sidedata` function

Right now the function mostly gather existing code to build a consistent object.
However having this function allow us prepare all user code independently from
the actual side data format change (and associated encoding/decoding changes)

Strictly speaking, we could not need to passe the sidedata explicitly since we
have access to it though the `changelogrevision` object. However, the short
term goal is to drop that first parameter to only pass the sidedata binaries.

Mercurial evolves over time, some features, options, commands may be replaced by
better and more secure alternatives. This topic will help you migrating your
existing usage and/or configuration to newer features.
