parsers: use base-16 trie for faster node->rev mapping

This greatly speeds up node->rev lookups, with results that are
often user-perceptible: for instance, "hg --time log" of the node
associated with rev 1000 on a linux-2.6 repo improves from 0.3
seconds to 0.03.  I have not found any instances of slowdowns.

The new perfnodelookup command in contrib/perf.py demonstrates the
speedup more dramatically, since it performs no I/O.  For a single
lookup, the new code is about 40x faster.

These changes also prepare the ground for the possibility of further
improving the performance of prefix-based node lookups.

  $ hg init
  $ echo This is file a1 > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "commit #0"
  $ ls
  a
  $ echo This is file b1 > b
  $ hg add b
  $ hg commit -m "commit #1"
  $ hg co 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

B should disappear

  $ ls
  a
