This code must set new_index[3..7].

Recall that the on-disk format of an offset is essentially two big-endian
32-bit integers, with the most significant integer coming first.
I.e. we want the initial index to look like this:
 [ 4 bytes zero | htonl(FSFS_SUCCESSORS_INDEX_SIZE) | zero ... ]

When reading the offset for revision zero, the code reads the first
4 bytes into variable 'n', and the second 4 bytes into variable 'm'.
It then combines both into a 64bit offset in native endianness:
  *revision_offset = ((apr_uint64_t)(ntohl(n)) << 32) | ntohl(m);

Note that due to a shortcut in the code reading the index we never
actually read the offset for revision 0 from disk (it is always equal
to FSFS_SUCCESSORS_INDEX_SIZE, after all). But the initial index we
write should be correct regardless.
