revlog: add a C implementation of `headrevsdiff`
Python implementation of `headrevsdiff` can be very slow in the worst
case compared with the `heads` computation it replaces, since the
latter is done in C.
Even the average case of this Python implementation is still
noticeable in the profiles.
This patch makes the computation much much faster by doing it in C.

$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama
adding a
$ echo b > b
$ hg branch b
marked working directory as branch b
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -Amb
adding b
$ hg co -C 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Fast-forward:
$ hg merge b
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg ci -Ammerge
Bogus fast-forward should fail:
$ hg merge b

Even with strange revset (issue4465)
$ hg merge ::.
