obsolete: fix n^2 marker computation behavior

Previously, if you ran obsolete.createmarkers with a bunch of markers that did
not have successors (like when you do a prune), it encountered a n^2 computation
behavior because the loop would read the changelog (to get ctx.parents()), then
add a marker, in a loop.  Adding a marker invalidated the computehidden cache,
and reading the changelog recomputed it.

This resulted in pruning 150 commits taking 150+ seconds in a large repo.

The fix is to break the reading part of the loop to be separate from the writing
part.

Mercurial
=========

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

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ 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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
