templater: do not use index.partialmatch() directly to calculate shortest()

cl.index.partialmatch() isn't a drop-in replacement for cl._partialmatch().
It has no knowledge about hidden revisions, and it raises ValueError if a node
shorter than 4 chars is given. Instead, use index.partialmatch() through
cl._partialmatch(), which has no such problems and gives the identical result
with/without --pure.

The test output was sampled with --pure without this patch, which shows the
most correct result. However, we'll need to switch to using an unfiltered
changelog because _partialmatch() of a filtered changelog can be an order of
magnitude slower.

  (with hidden revisions)
  % hg log -R hg-committed -r0:20000 -T '{node|shortest}\n' --time > /dev/null

 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
