revlog: inline start() and end() for perf reasons

When I implemented `hg perfrevlogchunks`, one of the things that
stood out was N * _chunk() calls was ~38x slower than 1
_chunks() call. Specifically, on the mozilla-unified repo:

N*_chunk:  0.528997s
1*_chunks: 0.013735s

This repo has 352,097 changesets. So the average time per changeset
comes out to:

N*_chunk:  1.502us
1*_chunks: 0.039us

If you extrapolate these numbers to a repository with 1M changesets,
that comes out to 1.502s versus 0.039s, which is significant.

At these latencies, Python attribute lookups and function calls
matter. So, this patch inlines some code to cut down on that overhead.

The impact of this patch on N*_chunk() calls is clear:

! wall 0.528997 comb 0.520000 user 0.500000 sys 0.020000 (best of 19)
! wall 0.367723 comb 0.370000 user 0.350000 sys 0.020000 (best of 27)

So, we go from ~38x slower to ~27x. A nice improvement. But there's
still a long way to go.

It's worth noting that functionality like revsets perform changelog
lookups one revision at a time. So this code path is worth optimizing.
