nodemap: provide the on disk data to indexes who support it Time to start defining the API and prepare the rust index support. We provide a method to do so. We use a distinct method instead of passing them in the constructor because we will need this method anyway later (to refresh the mmap once we update the data on disk).

nodemap: all check that revision and nodes match in the nodemap More check is always useful. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7846

nodemap: add basic checking of the on disk nodemap content The simplest check it so verify we have all the revision we needs, and nothing more. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7845

nodemap: code to parse the persistent binary nodemap data We now have code to read back what we persisted. This will be put to use in later changesets. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7844

nodemap: move the iteratio inside the Block object Having the iteration inside the serialization function does not help readability. Now that we have a `Block` object, let us move that code there. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7843

nodemap: use an explicit "Block" object in the reference implementation This will help us to introduce some test around the data currently written on disk. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7842

nodemap: add a optional `nodemap_add_full` method on indexes This method can be used to obtains persistent data for a full nodemap. The end goal is for some index implementation to managed the nodemap serialization them selves (eg: the rust implementation) Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7841

nodemap: add a (python) index class for persistent nodemap testing Using the persistent nodemap require a compeling performance boost and an existing implementation. The benefit of the persistent nodemap for pure python code is unclear and we don't have a C implementation for it. Yet we would like to actually start testing it in more details and define an API for using that persistent nodemap. We introduce a new `devel` config option to use an index class dedicated to Nodemap Testing. This feature is "pure" only because having using a pure-python index with the `cext` policy proved more difficult than I would like. There is nothing going on in that class for now, but the coming changeset will change that. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7840

nodemap: delete older raw data file when creating a new ones When we write new full files, it replace an older one with a different name. We add the associated cleanup for the older file to be removed after the transaction. We delete all file matching the expected pattern to give use extra chance to delete orphan files we might have failed to delete earlier. Note: eventually we won't rewrite all data for each transaction. This is coming in later changesets. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7839

nodemap: use an intermediate "docket" file to carry small metadata This intermediate file will make mmapping, transaction and content validation easier. (Most of this usefulness will arrive gradually in later changeset). In particular it will become very useful to append new data are the end of raw file instead of rewriting on the file on each transaction. See in code comments for details.
