branchmap: Save changectx creation during update The newly introduced `branchmap` function allows us to skip the creation of changectx objects. This speeds up the construction of the branchmap.

changelog: add a `branch` method, bypassing changectx The only way to access the branch of a changeset is currently to create a changectx object and access its `branch()` method. Creating a new Python object is costly and has a huge impact on code doing heavy access to `branch()` (like branchmap). This change introduces a new method on changelog that allows direct access to the branch of a revision. See the next changeset for impact.

branchmap: pass revision insteads of changectx to the update function Creation of changectx objects is very slow, and they are not very useful. We are going to drop them. The first step is to change the function argument type.
