discovery: using the new basesheads()

Our ultimate goal is to switch eventually to a Rust implementation, but
this move actually seems to increase the performance in a pure Python
build.

What follows is a quick measurement done on PyPy on repos prepared with
`contrib/discovery-helper.sh 50 100`.

Before:
! wall 0.894384 comb 0.890000 user 0.890000 sys 0.000000 (best of 11)
! wall 0.971199 comb 0.970000 user 0.950000 sys 0.020000 (max of 11)
! wall 0.927993 comb 0.925455 user 0.919091 sys 0.006364 (avg of 11)
! wall 0.921619 comb 0.920000 user 0.910000 sys 0.010000 (median of 11)

After:
