branchmap: move branch cache code out of streamclone.py

This is low-level branch map and cache manipulation code. It deserves to
live next to similar code in branchmap.py. Moving it also paves the road
for multiple consumers, such as a bundle2 part handler that receives
branch mappings from a remote.

This is largely a mechanical move, with only variable names and
indentation being changed.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
