revset: use smartset minus operator

Previously, revsets like 'X - Y' were translated to be 'X and not Y'. This can
be expensive, since if Y is a single commit then 'not Y' becomes a huge set and
sometimes the query optimizer doesn't account for it well.

This patch changes revsets to use the built in smartset minus operator, which is
often smarter than 'X and not Y'.

On a large repo this saves 2.2 seconds on rebase and histedit because "X:: - X"
becomes almost instant.
