I don't like else-less blocks that are indented for no reason.

changegroup: capture base node instead of rev in delta request
I want the API in storage to be defined in terms of nodes, not
revision numbers.

changegroup: introduce requests to define delta generation
Currently, we iterate through each revision we will be producing
a delta for then call into 1 of 2 functions for generating that
delta. Deltas are emitted as we iterate.
A problem with this model is that revision generation is tightly
coupled to the changegroup code. And the storage layer needs to
expose APIs like deltaparent() so changegroup delta generation
can produce a delta with that knowledge.
Another problem is that in this model, deltas can only be produced
sequentially after the previous delta was produced and emitted.
Some storage backends might be capable of producing deltas in
parallel (e.g. if the changegroup deltas are cached somewhere).
This commit aims to solve these problems by turning delta generation
into a 2 phase implementation where the first phase determines
info about all the deltas that need to be generated and the 2nd
phase resolves those deltas.
We introduce a "revisiondeltarequest" object that holds data about
a to-be-generated delta. We perform a full pass over all revisions
whose delta is to be generated and generate a "revisiondeltarequest"
for each. Then we iterate over the "revisiondeltarequest" instances
and derive a "revisiondelta" for each.
This patch was quite large. In order to avoid even more churn, aspects
of the implementation are less than ideal. e.g. we're recording
revision numbers instead of nodes in a few places and we don't
yet have a formal API for resolving an iterable of revisiondeltarequest
instances. Things will be improved in subsequent commits.
Unfortunately, this commit reduces performance substantially. For
`hg perfchangegroupchangelog` on my hg repo:
! wall 1.512607 comb 1.510000 user 1.490000 sys 0.020000 (best of 7)
! wall 2.150863 comb 2.150000 user 2.150000 sys 0.000000 (best of 5)
And for `hg bundle -t none-v2 -a` for the mozilla-unified repo:
178.32user 4.22system 3:02.59elapsed
190.97user 4.17system 3:15.19elapsed
Some of this was attributed to changelog slowdown. `hg
perfchangegroupchangelog` on mozilla-unified:
! wall 21.688715 comb 21.690000 user 21.570000 sys 0.120000 (best of 3)
! wall 25.683659 comb 25.680000 user 25.540000 sys 0.140000 (best of 3)
Profiling seems to reveal that the changelog slowdown is due to reading
changelog revisions multiple times. First in the linknode callback
to resolve the set of files changed. Second in the delta generation.
Before, we likely had hit the last revision cache in the revlog when
doing delta generation since we performed that immediately after
performing the linknode callback.
I'm not exactly sure where the other ~8s are being spent. It might be
from overhead of constructing a few million revisiondeltarequest
objects. I'm OK with the regression for now because it is in service
of a larger cause (storage abstraction). I'll try to profile later
and claw back the performance.

changegroup: refactor delta parent code
We had recently abstracted the delta parent functions to
facilitate extracting code from cgpacker. Now that we're in
a better place, it is time to revisit the design.
Changegroup version 1 requires that the previous node be used as the
delta parent. Later versions allow any available node to be used
as the base.
In the case where an arbitrary parent can be used, the choice of
a delta parent is best left in the hands of the storage backend.
So it makes sense for the delta parent selection to be hidden
away in the storage layer. This means deferring the choice of the
delta parent selection function to as close to delta generation
time as possible.
This commit moves the delta selection logic to essentially just
before delta generation. However, because changegroup version 1
limits what we can do, we have retained the ability to force a
delta against the previous revision.
As part of this, I realized that the ellipsis parent function was
unused! That's because ellipsis mode always sends full revisions
and not deltas.

changegroup: differentiate between fulltext and diff based deltas
Previously, revisiondelta encoded a delta and an optional prefix
containing a delta header. The underlying code could populate
the delta with either a real delta or a fulltext revision.
Following the theme of wanting to defer serialization of revision
data to the changegroup format as long as possible, it seems
prudent for the revision delta instance to capture what type of
data is being represented. This could possibly allow us to
encode revision data differently in the future. But for the
short term, it makes the behavior of a revisiondelta more
explicit.
