revlog: add the glue to use the Rust `InnerRevlog` from Python The performance of this has been looked at for quite some time, and some workflows are actually quite a bit faster than with the Python + C code. However, we are still (up to 20%) slower in some crucial places like cloning certain repos, log, cat, which makes this an incomplete rewrite. This is mostly due to the high amount of overhead in Python <-> Rust FFI, especially around the VFS code. A future patch series will rewrite the VFS code in pure Rust, which should hopefully get us up to par with current perfomance, if not better in all important cases. This is a "save state" of sorts, as this is a ton of code, and I don't want to pile up even more things in a single review. Continuing to try to match the current performance will take an extremely long time, if it's not impossible, without the aforementioned VFS work.

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
