aggressivemergedelta: document rename and move to `revlog` section

The config does not follow our naming guideline and "Aggressive" is probably a
word to keep away from users.

The option does not truly fit in the `format` section. It can be turned on and
off for existing repository without much consequence regarding compatibility.

A new `revlog` option is created to control behavior related to revlog writing
and reading. We can see multiple other config options that could be migrated
there.

* format.maxchainlen
* experimental.mmapindexthreshold
* experimental.sparse-read.density-threshold (in an updated form)
* experimental.sparse-read.min-gap-size (in an updated form)

In addition, we can foresee at least a couple of sparse-revlog related option
coming too (to reduce delta chain length and increase snapshot reuse)

These two extra options might fit there too. Unless we want to create a
section dedicated to caches and performance.

* format.chunkcachesize
* format.manifestcachesize

For now, we only migrate `optimize-delta-parent-choice` since it is getting
out of experimental. It is too close to the release to move the other one. In
addition, we still lack proper the prioritization of alias that would help
renaming them without bad consequence for users.

(Not fully happy about the `revlog` name but could not find better).

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo

  $ touch a.html b.html c.py d.py

  $ cat > frontend.sparse << EOF
  > [include]
  > *.html
  > EOF

  $ hg -q commit -A -m initial

  $ echo 1 > a.html
  $ echo 1 > c.py
  $ hg commit -m 'commit 1'

Enable sparse profile

  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store
  testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)

  $ hg debugsparse --config extensions.sparse= --enable-profile frontend.sparse
  $ ls
  a.html
  b.html

Requirement for sparse added when sparse is enabled

  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  exp-sparse
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store
  testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)

Client without sparse enabled reacts properly

  $ hg files
  abort: repository is using sparse feature but sparse is not enabled; enable the "sparse" extensions to access!
  [255]

Requirement for sparse is removed when sparse is disabled

  $ hg debugsparse --reset --config extensions.sparse=

  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store
  testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)

And client without sparse can access

  $ hg files
  a.html
  b.html
  c.py
  d.py
  frontend.sparse
