revlog: introduce an experimental flag to slice chunks reads when too sparse

Delta chains can become quite sparse if there is a lot of unrelated data between
relevant pieces. Right now, revlog always reads all the necessary data for the
delta chain in one single read. This can lead to a lot of unrelated data to be
read (see issue5482 for more details).
One can use the `experimental.maxdeltachainspan` option with a large value
(or -1) to easily produce a very sparse delta chain.

This change introduces the ability to slice the chunks retrieval into  multiple
reads, skipping large sections of unrelated data. Preliminary testing shows
interesting results. For example the peak memory consumption to read a manifest
on a large repository is reduced from 600MB to 250MB (200MB without
maxdeltachainspan). However, the slicing itself and the multiple reads can have
an negative impact on performance. This is why the new feature is hidden behind
an experimental flag.

Future changesets will add various parameters to control the slicing heuristics.
We hope to experiment a wide variety of repositories during 4.4 and hopefully
turn the feature on by default in 4.5.
As a first try, the algorithm itself is prone to deep changes. However, we wish
to define APIs and have a baseline to work on.

Test that the syntax of "unified tests" is properly processed
==============================================================

Simple commands:

  $ echo foo
  foo
  $ printf 'oh no'
  oh no (no-eol)
  $ printf 'bar\nbaz\n' | cat
  bar
  baz

Multi-line command:

  $ foo() {
  >     echo bar
  > }
  $ foo
  bar

Return codes before inline python:

  $ sh -c 'exit 1'
  [1]

Doctest commands:

  >>> from __future__ import print_function
  >>> print('foo')
  foo
  $ echo interleaved
  interleaved
  >>> for c in 'xyz':
  ...     print(c)
  x
  y
  z
  >>> print()
  
  >>> foo = 'global name'
  >>> def func():
  ...     print(foo, 'should be visible in func()')
  >>> func()
  global name should be visible in func()
  >>> print('''multiline
  ... string''')
  multiline
  string

Regular expressions:

  $ echo foobarbaz
  foobar.* (re)
  $ echo barbazquux
  .*quux.* (re)

Globs:

  $ printf '* \\foobarbaz {10}\n'
  \* \\fo?bar* {10} (glob)

Literal match ending in " (re)":

  $ echo 'foo (re)'
  foo (re)

Windows: \r\n is handled like \n and can be escaped:

#if windows
  $ printf 'crlf\r\ncr\r\tcrlf\r\ncrlf\r\n'
  crlf
  cr\r (no-eol) (esc)
  \tcrlf (esc)
  crlf\r (esc)
#endif

Combining esc with other markups - and handling lines ending with \r instead of \n:

  $ printf 'foo/bar\r'
  fo?/bar\r (no-eol) (glob) (esc)
#if windows
  $ printf 'foo\\bar\r'
  foo/bar\r (no-eol) (glob) (esc)
#endif
  $ printf 'foo/bar\rfoo/bar\r'
  foo.bar\r \(no-eol\) (re) (esc)
  foo.bar\r \(no-eol\) (re)

testing hghave

  $ hghave true
  $ hghave false
  skipped: missing feature: nail clipper
  [1]
  $ hghave no-true
  skipped: system supports yak shaving
  [1]
  $ hghave no-false

Conditional sections based on hghave:

#if true
  $ echo tested

  $ echo skipped
#endif

#if false
  $ echo skipped

  $ echo tested

#if no-false
  $ echo tested

  $ echo skipped
#endif

#if no-true
  $ echo skipped
#else
  $ echo tested
  tested
#endif

  $ (exit 1)
