snapshot: try intermediate snapshot against parents' base

# Regarding The Series Started By This Changeset

This is the first changesets of a group adjusting delta chain strategy to
build a useful chain of intermediate snapshots. The series will introduce a
full strategy to produce chains of multiple snapshots on top of which a
"usual" delta chain will be built.

That strategy will have multiple steps to maximize snapshot reuse, avoiding
pathological cases and improving overall compression in very branchy
repositories. An important property of sparse-revlog using such snapshot-chain
is that they can use very short delta chain without problematic impact on the
resulting compression. Shorter delta chains are important to achieve good
performance.

To make each step clear, we'll introduce them one by one.

See the end of this series for full details.

# Regarding This Changeset

Before this change, if we cannot store the current revision as a delta against
a "simple" candidate (p1, p2, prev), we created a new level-0 snapshot (also
called full snapshot).

As the first step, we introduce a simple strategy: try an intermediate level-1
snapshot against the chain base of the "current revision" parents.
The "current revision" is the one we are currently trying to store in the
revlog, triggering this search for a good delta base.
The first item in the chain is always a level-0 snapshot.

# Effect On The Test Repository

We can already see the effect on the test-repository. Most of the snapshots
have shifted from level 0 to level 1. The overall size has slightly decreased.
(However, keep in mind that this repository only emulates real data)

# Regarding Statistic

The current series focuses on improving the chain built. Improving the
performance of this logic will be done as a second step. Sparse-revlog is
still experimental and disabled by default.

We'll provide more statistic about resulting size and delta chain at the end
of this series.

Create a repo and add some commits

  $ hg init mm
  $ cd mm
  $ echo "Test content" > testfile1
  $ hg add testfile1
  $ hg commit -m "First commit" -u "Proper <commit@m.c>"
  $ echo "Test content 2" > testfile2
  $ hg add testfile2
  $ hg commit -m "Second commit" -u "Commit Name 2 <commit2@m.c>"
  $ echo "Test content 3" > testfile3
  $ hg add testfile3
  $ hg commit -m "Third commit" -u "Commit Name 3 <commit3@m.c>"
  $ echo "Test content 4" > testfile4
  $ hg add testfile4
  $ hg commit -m "Fourth commit" -u "Commit Name 4 <commit4@m.c>"

Add a .mailmap file with each possible entry type plus comments
  $ cat > .mailmap << EOF
  > # Comment shouldn't break anything
  > <proper@m.c> <commit@m.c> # Should update email only
  > Proper Name 2 <commit2@m.c> # Should update name only
  > Proper Name 3 <proper@m.c> <commit3@m.c> # Should update name, email due to email
  > Proper Name 4 <proper@m.c> Commit Name 4 <commit4@m.c> # Should update name, email due to name, email
  > EOF
  $ hg add .mailmap
  $ hg commit -m "Add mailmap file" -u "Testuser <test123@m.c>"

Output of commits should be normal without filter
  $ hg log -T "{author}\n" -r "all()"
  Proper <commit@m.c>
  Commit Name 2 <commit2@m.c>
  Commit Name 3 <commit3@m.c>
  Commit Name 4 <commit4@m.c>
  Testuser <test123@m.c>

Output of commits with filter shows their mailmap values
  $ hg log -T "{mailmap(author)}\n" -r "all()"
  Proper <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 2 <commit2@m.c>
  Proper Name 3 <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 4 <proper@m.c>
  Testuser <test123@m.c>

Add new mailmap entry for testuser
  $ cat >> .mailmap << EOF
  > <newmmentry@m.c> <test123@m.c>
  > EOF

Output of commits with filter shows their updated mailmap values
  $ hg log -T "{mailmap(author)}\n" -r "all()"
  Proper <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 2 <commit2@m.c>
  Proper Name 3 <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 4 <proper@m.c>
  Testuser <newmmentry@m.c>

A commit with improperly formatted user field should not break the filter
  $ echo "some more test content" > testfile1
  $ hg commit -m "Commit with improper user field" -u "Improper user"
  $ hg log -T "{mailmap(author)}\n" -r "all()"
  Proper <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 2 <commit2@m.c>
  Proper Name 3 <proper@m.c>
  Proper Name 4 <proper@m.c>
  Testuser <newmmentry@m.c>
  Improper user

No TypeError beacause of invalid input

  $ hg log -T '{mailmap(termwidth)}\n' -r0
