remotefilelog: adapt the `debugindex` command to past API changes

Pytype was missing these problems because it's currently inferring the classes
for `filelog` and `revlog` to be `Any`.  When that's fixed, these were flagged,
so fix these first.

The `filelog` class used to subclass `revlog`, but that was changed back in
1541e1a8e87d (with most or all of the "lost" attributes being forwarded to the
embedded `revlog` attribute at that time).  These forwarded references were
dropped over time, and this command has been broken at least as far back as
68282a7b29a7 when the `version` field was dropped.  Most of the fixes were as
simple as calling the accessor for the embedded `revlog` member, but the general
delta feature detection was a bit more involved- I copied the detection for it
from `mercurial.revlogutils.debug.debug_revlog()`.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
