manifest: define and implement rev() on manifestlog

Various code is accessing repo.manifestlog._revlog - a private
attribute. This bypasses our interface and makes it difficult to
implement non-revlog manifest storage.

This commit adds a rev() method to the manifestlog interface and
class and teaches callers to use it.

Ideally this method wouldn't exist, as very few consumers should
need to resolve the revision number of a manifest. Again, the
primary goal of interface work is to establish and use interfaces
first and to improve them later.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
