revlog: return 0 for the fast_rank of nullrev

By convention, the rank of the null revision is 0. This particular revision is
never "physically" stored in the changelog, so it is a special case.

For consistency, the value `None` is still being returned for revlogs which do
not store the fast_rank property for any revision.

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.
