Add revlog.strip to truncate away revisions. This updates the revlog data structures for index and nodemap in place so the .d and .i files don't need to be reread after stripping away a revision.

Optimize manifest.add Testing shows that manifest.add is spending a significant percentage of its time running calcoffsets and doing text = "".join(addlist). This patch removes the need for both of these by storying the manifest in a character array, and using a modified bisect search to find lines without the help of a separate index of line offsets. manifest.add was also reworked to push delta construction/combination into the main loop.
