revset: fix resolving strings from a list
When using multiple revsets that get optimized into a list (like
hg log -r r1235 -r r1237 in hgsubversion), the revset list code was assuming the
strings were resolvable via repo[X]. hgsubversion and other extensions override
def stringset() to allow processing different revision identifiers (such as
r1235 or g<githash>), and there for the _list() implementation was circumventing
that resolution.
The fix is to just call stringset(). The default implementaiton does the same
thing that _list was already doing (namely repo[X]).
This has always been broken, but it was recently exposed by 4ee4f7415095 which
made "--rev X --rev Y" produce a combined revset "X | Y".

Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions. A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth. A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier. A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one full-length identifier. Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character. The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision. The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0. The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.
