bundlerepo: don't insert index tuples with full nodes as linkrev

The index format has a documented format and latter changes will start
to enforce the field types. The bundlerepo uses full nodes for the
linkrev field when it should be using revision numbers. Use the link
mapping to resolve them, except in the special case of self-references.
Those are actually indications of a missing linkrev.

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.
