parsers: cache the result of index_headrevs

Although index_headrevs is much faster than its Python counterpart,
it's still somewhat expensive when history is large. Since headrevs
is called several times when the tag cache is stale or missing (e.g.
after a strip or rebase), there's a win to be gained from caching
the result, which we do here.
