storageutil: move metadata parsing and packing from revlog (API)
Parsing and writing of revision text metadata is likely identical
across storage backends. Let's move the code out of revlog so we
don't need to import the revlog module in order to use it.

$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ touch a.html b.html c.py d.py
$ cat > frontend.sparse << EOF
> [include]
> *.html
> EOF
$ hg -q commit -A -m initial
$ echo 1 > a.html
$ echo 1 > c.py
$ hg commit -m 'commit 1'
Enable sparse profile
$ cat .hg/requires
dotencode
fncache
generaldelta
revlogv1
store
testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)
$ hg debugsparse --config extensions.sparse= --enable-profile frontend.sparse
$ ls
a.html
b.html
Requirement for sparse added when sparse is enabled
$ cat .hg/requires
dotencode
exp-sparse
fncache
generaldelta
revlogv1
store
testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)
Client without sparse enabled reacts properly
$ hg files
abort: repository is using sparse feature but sparse is not enabled; enable the "sparse" extensions to access!
[255]
Requirement for sparse is removed when sparse is disabled
$ hg debugsparse --reset --config extensions.sparse=
$ cat .hg/requires
dotencode
fncache
generaldelta
revlogv1
store
testonly-simplestore (reposimplestore !)
And client without sparse can access
$ hg files
a.html
b.html
c.py
d.py
frontend.sparse
