revlog: improve delta generation heuristics for generaldelta

Without this change, pulls (and clones) into a generaldelta repository could
generate very inefficient revlogs, the size of which could be at least twice
the original size.

This was caused by the generated delta chains covering too large distances,
causing new chains to be built far too often. This change addresses the
problem by forcing a delta against second parent or against the previous
revision, when the first parent delta is in danger of creating a long chain.

     the underlying revision storage object
 
     A revlog consists of two parts, an index and the revision data.
 
     The index is a file with a fixed record size containing
     information on each revision, including its nodeid (hash), the
     nodeids of its parents, the position and offset of its data within
     the data file, and the revision it's based on. Finally, each entry
     contains a linkrev entry that can serve as a pointer to external
     data.
 
     The revision data itself is a linear collection of data chunks.
     Each chunk represents a revision and is usually represented as a
     delta against the previous chunk. To bound lookup time, runs of
     deltas are limited to about 2 times the length of the original
     version data. This makes retrieval of a version proportional to
     its size, or O(1) relative to the number of revisions.
 
     Both pieces of the revlog are written to in an append-only
     fashion, which means we never need to rewrite a file to insert or
