manifest: remove dependency on manifestrevlog being able to create trees

A future patch will be removing the read() function from the manifest class.
Since manifestrevlog currently depends on the read function that manifest
implements (as a derived class), we need to break the dependency from
manifestrevlog to read(). We do this by adding an argument to
manifestrevlog.write() which provides it with the ability to read a manifest.

This is good in general because it further separates revlog as the storage
format from the actual inmemory data structure implementation.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
