manifestv2: add support for reading new manifest format

The new manifest format is designed to be smaller, in particular to
produce smaller deltas. It stores hashes in binary and puts the hash
on a new line (for smaller deltas). It also uses stem compression to
save space for long paths. The format has room for metadata, but
that's there only for future-proofing. The parser thus accepts any
metadata and throws it away. For more information, see
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ManifestV2Plan.

The current manifest format doesn't allow an empty filename, so we use
an empty filename on the first line to tell a manifest of the new
format from the old. Since we still never write manifests in the new
format, the added code is unused, but it is tested by
test-manifest.py.

Check that entry is added to .hg/requires

  $ hg --config experimental.manifestv2=True init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ grep manifestv2 .hg/requires
  manifestv2

Set up simple repo

  $ echo a > file1
  $ echo b > file2
  $ echo c > file3
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'initial'
  $ echo d > file2
  $ hg ci -m 'modify file2'

Check that 'hg verify', which uses manifest.readdelta(), works

  $ hg verify

TODO: Check that manifest revlog is smaller than for v1

  $ hg debugindex -m
