obsolete: make _computeobsoleteset much faster

This patch makes _computeobsoleteset much faster by looping
over the draft and secrets as opposed to looping over the
successors.
This works because "number of draft and secret" is typically
way smaller(<100) than the number of successor in the repo (~90k in
my checkout of core mercurial as of today). And also because
it is very fast to compute "not public()".

I timed the code with the following setup:
"""
from mercurial import hg, ui, obsolete
ui = ui.ui()
repo = hg.repository(ui, "~/hg")
l = repo.obsstore.successors # This caches the result
"""

With about 90k successors.

k=obsolete._computeobsoleteset(repo) before this patch:
10 loops, best of 3: 33.9 ms per loop

k=obsolete._computeobsoleteset(repo) after this patch:
10000 loops, best of 3: 83.3 µs per loop

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.
