debugcommands: introduce a debug command to repair repos affected by issue6528

This command is quite basic and slow, it will loop over the entirety of the
filelogs in the repository and check each revision for corruption, then fixes
the affected filelogs. It takes under 25 minutes for Mozilla-Central on my
not-top-of-the-line laptop, using the `--to-report` and `--from-report` options
will make this pretty tolerable to use, I think.

This change also introduces a test for the fix.

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.
