revlog: add config variable for limiting delta-chain length

The current heuristic for deciding between storing delta and full texts
is based on ratio of (sizeofdeltas)/(sizeoffulltext).

In some cases (for example a manifest for ahuge repo) this approach
can result in extremely long delta chains (~30,000) which are very slow to
read. (In the case of a manifest ~500ms are added to every hg command because of that).

This commit introduces "revlog.maxchainlength" configuration variable that will
limit delta chain length.
