manifestmerge: fix order in which manifests are fetched
If the manifest of an earlier revision on the same delta chain is read before
that of a later revision, the revlog remembers that we parsed the earlier
revision and continues applying deltas from there onwards. If manifests are
parsed the other way round, we have to start over from the fulltext.
For a fresh clone of mozilla-central, updating from
29dd80c95b7d to its parent
aab96936a177 requires approximately 400 fewer zlib.decompress calls, which
results in a speedup from 1.10 seconds to 1.05.
