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.

revlog.parseindex must be able to parse the index file even if
an index entry is split between two 64k blocks.  The ideal test
would be to create an index file with inline data where
64k < size < 64k + 64 (64k is the size of the read buffer, 64 is
the size of an index entry) and with an index entry starting right
before the 64k block boundary, and try to read it.
We approximate that by reducing the read buffer to 1 byte.
