Provenance (all releases and revisions)

Precomputed tables of all revisions a content is in, and all origins a revision is in, indexed for reasonably efficient backward queries. Its current implementation is primarily a Parquet database, along with some external indexes for more efficient access. The swh-provenance Rust crate provides access to these indexes and a gRPC server to query the data remotely.
