test-revlog-raw: fix "genbits" implementation

The "genbits" implementation is actually incorrect. This patch fixes it. A
good "genbits" implementation should pass the below assertion:

    n = 3 # or other number
    l = list(genbits(n))
    assert 2**(n*2) == len(set((l[i]<<n)+l[i+1] for i in range(len(l)-1)))

An assertion is added to make sure "genbits" won't work unexpectedly.

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).
