revlog: improve delta generation heuristics for generaldelta

Without this change, pulls (and clones) into a generaldelta repository could
generate very inefficient revlogs, the size of which could be at least twice
the original size.

This was caused by the generated delta chains covering too large distances,
causing new chains to be built far too often. This change addresses the
problem by forcing a delta against second parent or against the previous
revision, when the first parent delta is in danger of creating a long chain.

Source bundle was generated with the following script:

# hg init
# echo a > a
# ln -s a l
# hg ci -Ama -d'0 0'
# mkdir b
# echo a > b/a
# chmod +x b/a
# hg ci -Amb -d'1 0'

  $ hg init
  $ hg -q pull "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-manifest.hg"

The next call is expected to return nothing:

  $ hg manifest

  $ hg co
  3 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ hg manifest
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest -v
  644   a
  755 * b/a
  644 @ l

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 755 * b/a
  047b75c6d7a3ef6a2243bd0e99f94f6ea6683597 644 @ l

  $ hg manifest -r 0
  a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r 1
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r tip
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest tip
  a
  b/a
  l


The next two calls are expected to abort:

  $ hg manifest -r 2
  abort: unknown revision '2'!
  [255]

  $ hg manifest -r tip tip
  abort: please specify just one revision
  [255]
