histedit: cache description line

Navigating the curses-based histedit interface can be pretty slow
because it redraws everything whenever you make a change.

This patch simply replaces `@property` by `@util.propertycache` on the
`histeditrule.desc()` function so it's not re-calculated every time
the screen needs to be re-rendered. I timed it on an example of 30
simple commits, where I moved the top commit down 25 steps and then up
25 steps after. Before this patch, that (the whole `hg histedit`
invocation) took 11.6 s of CPU and after this patch it took 0.8 s).

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
