Needed by the replayer in swh-journal.

It kind of matches the current state of the postgresql storage, which
does not support it.

But keep support for deserializing from str, like
swh-storage does.

Code manipulating a Content object may want to access a hash
of configurable name; this method allows it to do that
without using getattr directly.

It denotes files whose length is unknown.

Loaders use it, but it is ignored by the pg storage.
However, as the Cassandra storage uses swh-model to validate
its input, it refuses this input from the loaders (and journal).

Remove version checking code, pyblake2 is installed by default on python 3.6+

This is a fix to workaround pip's inability to correctly solve
extra requirements (swh-model depends on swh-core[], but if other
packages depend on swh-model and swh-core[http], the 'http' extra
does not always get installed).

pgsql does not support it.

There is more repetition, but it's easier to read and
'%timeit Revision.from_dict(d)' is 5 times faster.

whole documentation.
