hgweb: compute changeset parents and children for log pages lazily

Log pages, i.e. changelog, filelog and search results page computed children
and parents for each changeset shown, because spartan hgweb style shows this
info. Turns out, computing all this is heavy and also unnecessary for log pages
in all other hgweb styles.

Luckily, templates allow an easy way to do computations on demand: just pass
the heavy part of code as a callable and it will be only called when needed.

Here are some benchmarks on the mercurial repository (best of 3):
