revlog: in addgroup, reject ill-formed deltas based on censored nodes

To ensure interoperability when clones disagree about which file nodes are
censored, a restriction is made on deltas based on censored nodes. Any such
delta must replace the full text of the base in a single patch.

If the recipient of a delta considers the base to be censored and the delta
is not in the expected form, the recipient must reject it, as it can't know
if the source has also censored the base.

For background and broader design of the censorship feature, see:
