revset: optimize not public revset

This patvh speeds up the computation of the not public() changeset
and incidentally speed up the computation of divergents() changeset on our big
repo by 100x from 50% to 0.5% of the time spent in smartlog with evolve.

In this patch we optimize not public() to _notpublic() (new revset) and use
the work on phaseset (from the previous commit) to be able to compute
_notpublic() quickly.

We use a non-lazy approach making the assumption the number of notpublic
change will not be in the order of magnitude of the repo size. Adopting a
lazy approach gives a speedup of 5x (vs 100x) only due to the overhead of the
code for lazy generation.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
