sparse-revlog: set max delta chain length to on thousand

The new snapshot system used in the sparse-revlog case gave us some small size
benefit so far. However its most important property is to gracefully handle
harder limit on delta chainlength.

Long delta chain has a very detrimental impact on read (and write) performance
in revlog. Being able to shorter them provide a great boost. However, shorting
delta used to result significantly lower compression ratio. The intermediate
snapshots effectively suppress most of this effect (even all in some case).

# Effect on the test repository

The repository we use for test is not "realistic" but can still show this in
action using an unreasonably low chain limit. Limiting the chain length show a
sizeable increase but stay under control: +6% for limit=15; +15% for limit=10.
Without the snapshot system the increase is significantly bigger: +45% for
limit=15; +80% for limit=10. Even slightly larger than without delta chain
limit, the resulting size is still smaller than before we started doing
snapshots.

Here is a table for comparison. *Since the repository is not branchy, the
initial sparse-revlog version does not bring much benefit compare to the
non-sparse one):

       chain length limit |     none   |   limit=15  |   limit=10  |
    without sparse-revlog | 62 818 987 | 112 664 615 | 131 222 574 |
    without snapshot      | 74 365 490 | 108 211 410 | 133 857 764 |
    with    snapshot      | 59 230 936 |  63 002 924 |  68 415 329 |


# Effect On Real Life Repositories

The series provides significant benefits on all kind of repositories.

Using `hg debugupgraderepo -o redeltaparent --run`, we recomputed delta chain
for various repositories with different settings:
  - delta chain length: unlimited or 1000 limit
  - sparse-revlog:      enabled or disabled
  - this series:        applied or not applied

We can observe multiple types of effect:

 - On very branchy repositories:
   * The delta chain limit as low impact on the repo size.
   * Intermediate snapshot greatly reduces manifest size:
     - pypy:     -80%
     - netbeans: -95%
   * The delta chain limit is effective, without a size impact:
     - netbeans average:      613 -> 282
     - private #1 average:  1 068 -> 307

 - On more linear repository:
   * Intermediate snapshot limit the impact of delta chain limit:
     - mozilla:
         without the series: +360%
         with the series:     +25%
   * The delta chain limit provides large improvement:
     - mozilla's average chain length:
        unlimited: 15 338
        limited:      469
   * Despite the chain length limit, the manifest size is reduced:
     - mercurial: -25%
     - mozilla:   -30%

It is clear that the use of chains of intermediate snapshots provide large
benefits both in storage size and delta chains quality. We should now switch our
effort toward making sure the write performance are acceptable. Then,
`sparse-revlog` will be a suitable format for all new repository.
