nodemap: introduce an option to use mmap to read the nodemap mapping

The performance and memory benefit is much greater if we don't have to copy all
the data in memory for each information. So we introduce an option (on by
default) to read the data using mmap.

This changeset is the last one definition the API for index support nodemap
data. (they have to be able to use the mmaping).

Below are some benchmark comparing the best we currently have in 5.3 with the
final step of this series (using the persistent nodemap implementation in
Rust). The benchmark run `hg perfindex` with various revset and the following
variants:

Before:

 * do not use the persistent nodemap
 * use the CPython implementation of the index for nodemap
 * use mmapping of the changelog index

After:

 * use the MixedIndex Rust code, with the NodeTree object for nodemap access
   (still in review)
 * use the persistent nodemap data from disk
 * access the persistent nodemap data through mmap
 * use mmapping of the changelog index

The persistent nodemap greatly speed up  most operation on very large
repositories. Some of the previously very fast lookup end up a bit slower because
the persistent nodemap has to be setup. However the absolute slowdown is very
small and won't matters in the big picture.

Here are some numbers (in seconds) for the reference copy of mozilla-try:

On smaller repositories, the cost of nodemap related operation is not as big, so
the win is much more modest. Yet it helps shaving a handful of millisecond here
and there.

Set up a repo

  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interactive = true
  > [extensions]
  > record =
  > EOF

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Record help

  $ hg record -h
  hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  
  interactively select changes to commit
  
      If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
      candidates for recording.
  
      See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
  
      If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted
      for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with
      multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following
      responses are possible:
  
        y - record this change
        n - skip this change
        e - edit this change manually
  
        s - skip remaining changes to this file
        f - record remaining changes to this file
  
        d - done, skip remaining changes and files
        a - record all changes to all remaining files
        q - quit, recording no changes
  
        ? - display help
  
      This command is not available when committing a merge.
  
  (use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before
                            committing
      --close-branch        mark a branch head as closed
      --amend               amend the parent of the working directory
   -s --secret              use the secret phase for committing
   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages
   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
   -m --message TEXT        use text as commit message
   -l --logfile FILE        read commit message from file
   -d --date DATE           record the specified date as commit date
   -u --user USER           record the specified user as committer
   -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
   -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
   -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
   -Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL
