changelog: add class to represent parsed changelog revisions

Currently, changelog entries are parsed into their respective
components at read time. Many operations are only interested
in a subset of fields of a changelog entry. The parsing and
storing of all the fields adds avoidable overhead.

This patch introduces the "changelogrevision" class. It takes
changelog raw text and exposes the parsed results as attributes.
The code for parsing changelog entries has been moved into its
construction function. changelog.read() has been modified to use
the new class internally while maintaining its existing API.
Future patches will make revision parsing lazy.

We implement the construction function of the new class with
__new__ instead of __init__ so we can use a named tuple to
represent the empty revision. This saves overhead and complexity
of coercing later versions of this class to represent an empty
instance.

While we are here, we add a method on changelog to obtain an
instance of the new type.

The overhead of constructing the new class regresses performance
of revsets accessing this data:

author(mpm)
0.896565
0.929984

desc(bug)
0.887169
0.935642 105%

date(2015)
0.878797
0.908094

extra(rebase_source)
0.865446
0.922624 106%

author(mpm) or author(greg)
1.801832
1.902112 105%

author(mpm) or desc(bug)
1.812438
1.860977

date(2015) or branch(default)
0.968276
1.005824

author(mpm) or desc(bug) or date(2015) or extra(rebase_source)
3.656193
3.743381

Once lazy parsing is implemented, these revsets will all be faster
than before. There is no performance change on revsets that do not
access this data. There /could/ be a performance regression on
operations that perform several changelog reads. However, I can't
think of anything outside of revsets and `hg log` (basically the
same as a revset) that would be impacted.
