scmutil: avoid quadratic membership testing (issue5969)

tr.changes['revs'] is an xrange, which has an O(n) __contains__
implementation. The `rev not in newrevs` lookup a few lines below
will therefore be O(n^2) if all incoming changesets are public.

This issue isn't present on @ because 45e05d39d9ce introduced
a custom type implementing an xrange primitive with O(1) contains
and switched tr.changes['revs'] to be an instance of that type.

We work around the problem on the stable branch by casting the
xrange to a set. This is a bit hacky because it requires allocating
memory to hold each integer in the range. But we are already
holding the full set of pulled revision numbers in memory
multiple times (such as in `tr.changes['phases']`). So this is
a relatively minor problem.

This issue has been present since the phases reporting code was
introduced in the 4.7 cycle by eb9835014d20.

This change should be reverted/ignored when stable is merged into
default.

On the mozilla-unified repository with 483492 changesets, `hg clone`
time improves substantially:

before: 1843.700s user; 29.810s sys
after:   461.170s user; 29.360s sys
