[PATCH 03/11] vcs-svn: Read the preimage while applying deltas

From

The source view offset heading each svndiff0 window represents a number of bytes past the beginning of the preimage. Together with the source view length, it instructs the delta applier about what portion of the preimage instructions will refer to. Read in that data right away using the sliding window code.

Maybe some day we will mmap() to prepare to read data more lazily.

For compatibility with Subversion's implementation, tolerate source view offsets pointing past the end of the preimage file (a later patch will remove this flexibility). For simplicity, also permit source views that start within the preimage and end outside of it, even though Subversion does not.

This does not teach the delta applier to read instructions or copy data from the source view yet. Deltas that would produce nonempty output are still rejected.

It occurs to me that Sam Vilain may well have something valuable to
say about this series, having implemented something similar[1].

Sam, this series adds an svndiff0 parser for git to use in parsing v3 dumps (which are way easier to produce with remote access to an svn repository than v2 dumps). The beginning of the series is at [2], though that cover letter is out of date: now, modulo any new bugs I've introduced with this reroll, it is known to successfully apply all the deltas involved in a complete dump of the ASF repo.

I am interested in improvements and complaints of all kinds.
