revlog: don't cache parsed tuples in the C module A cached entry creates ~8 Python objects per cached changeset, which comes to around 200 Bytes per cached changeset on AMD64. Especially for operations that touch a lot of changesets, that can easily sum up to more than a 100MB of memory. Simple tests on large repositories show <2% runtime penalty for ripping out the cache, even for cache heavy operations like "hg log" for all revisions.

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).
