In light of the past few months' experience in what kind of revision-deletion
people would _like_ to be doing if we had it finished, I'm starting to complete
implementation of rev_deleted, changing it from the originally planned flag to a
bitfield:

The bitfield gives us some more options to suppress comments and usernames where
necessary while keeping them in history in more common cases.
