revlog: move the compression/decompression logic on the inner object

This is a necessary step before being able to move more logic around restoring
a revision content there.

For now, we do a simple patch for the perf extension logic, when the
implementation of the inner object changes, we will likely need some evolution
of the API. However this is true of many things in the perf extension. So we
will see this later.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
