revlog: enforce chunk slicing down to a certain size
Limit maximum chunk size to 4x final size when reading a revision from a
revlog. We only apply this logic when the target size is known from the
revlog.
Ideally, revlog's delta chain would be written in a way that does not trigger
this extra slicing often. However, having this second guarantee that we won't
read unexpectedly large amounts of memory in all cases is important for the
future. Future delta chain building algorithms might have good reason to
create delta chain with such characteristics.
Including this code in core as soon as possible will make Mercurial 4.7
forward-compatible with such improvement.

revlog: postprocess chunk to slice them down to a certain size
After the density slicing is done, we enforce a maximum chunk size to avoid
memory consumption issue.

revlog: add function to slice chunk down to a given size
It is possible to encounter situations where the slicing based on density did
not achieve chunk smaller than the 4*textlength limit. To avoid extra memory
consumption in those cases, we need to be able to break down chunk to a given
size. Actual caller comes in the next changesets.
