revlog: filter out "invalid" delta base candidates
There are bases that we know won't produce a good delta chain. For example, if
the base is already bigger than twice the size of the text we store, we know
the resulting delta chain will never be valid.
We might make the check a bit more powerful and generic in the future, but
this looks a good start.
In particular, empty file (size 0) will never find a good base, so we should
stop spending time trying to find one.
Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
