init: guard _namemap with repo.topics (issue5351)

This prevents reading extra data on all repo commits
when there is no topic for a given name.

_namemap is called a lot, and it is often called for commit
shas -- which should pretty much never be names of topics...

# topics

Topics are an experiment to see if maybe the workflow defined by git
branches and hg bookmarks is only partially what users want - perhaps
something that feels more like a traditional VCS branch is right, but
that it should "dissolve" upon being finished. This extension exists
to be a sandbox for that experimentation.

# usage

Enable topics like any mercurial extension: download the source code to a
local directory, and add that directory to your `.hgrc`:

    [extensions]
    topics=path/to/hg-topics/hgext3rd/topic/
