smartset: split generatorset classes to avoid cycle I uncovered a cycle manifesting in a memory leak by running `hgperfrevset '::tip'`. The cycle was due to generatorset.__init__ assigning a bound method to self.__contains__. Internet sleuthing revealed that assigning a bound method to an instance attribute always creates a cycle. This commit creates two new variants of generatorset for the special cases of ascending and descending generators. The special implementations of __contains__ have been extracted to these classes where they are defined as __contains__. generatorset now implements __new__ and changes the spawned type to one of the new classes if needed.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
