builtin-fast-export: Add importing and exporting of revision marks
This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import
and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion
to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can
create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on
both sides.
