performance: speedup computation of unstable revisions

In their current state, revset calls can be very costly, as we test
predicates on the entire repository.

This change drops revset call in favor of direct testing of the
phase of changesets.

Performance test on my Mercurial checkout

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ 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
