revlog: avoid raising no-arg RevlogError for internal flow control

I'm about to make RevlogError require a `message` argument and this
code was failing. This patch refactors it to not raise an exception
for intra-function flow control.

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.
