revlog: move censor logic out of censor extension

Summary

The censor extension is doing very low-level things with revlogs.
It is fundamentally impossible for this logic to remain in the censor
extension while support multiple storage backends: we need each
storage backend to implement censor in its own storage-specific
way.

This commit effectively moves the revlog-specific censoring code to
be a method of revlogs themselves.

We've defined a new API on the file storage interface for censoring
an individual node. Even though the current censoring code doesn't
use it, the API requires a transaction instance because it logically
makes sense for storage backends to require an active transaction
(which implies a held write lock) in order to rewrite storage.

After this commit, the censor extension has been reduced to
boilerplate precondition checking before invoking the generic
storage API.

I tried to keep the code as similar as possible. But some minor
changes were made:

  • We use self._io instead of instantiating a new revlogio instance.
  • We compare self.version against REVLOGV0 instead of != REVLOGV1 because presumably all future revlog versions will support censoring.
  • We use self.opener instead of going through repo.svfs (we don't have a handle on the repo instance from a revlog).
  • "revlog" dropped
  • Replace "flog" with "self".
