changegroup: differentiate between fulltext and diff based deltas

Summary

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.
