transaction: change list of journal entries into a dictionary

The transaction object used to keep a mapping table of path names to
journal entries and a list of journal entries consisting of path and
file offset to truncate on rollback. The offsets are used in three
cases. repair.strip and rollback process all of them in one go, but they
care about the order. For them, it is perfectly reasonable to read the
journal back from disk as both operations already involve at least one
system call per journal entry. The other consumer is the revlog logic
for moving from inline to external data storage. It doesn't care about
the order of the journal and just needs to original offset stored.
Further optimisations are possible here to move the in-memory journal to
a set(), but without memoisation of the original revlog size this could
turn it into O(n^2) behavior in worst case when many revlogs need to
migrated.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
