revset: add optimization for heads(commonancestors())

Previously, the only way to get these commits were (tested on
mozilla-central):

hg perfrevset 'heads(::a7cf55 and ::d8b15)'
! wall 4.988366 comb 4.960000 user 4.780000 sys 0.180000 (best of 3)

After this patch:

(python)
hg perfrevset 'heads(commonancestors(a7cf55 + d8b15))'
! wall 0.002155 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 1107)

(C)
hg perfrevset 'heads(commonancestors(a7cf55 + d8b15))'
! wall 0.000568 comb 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys 0.000000 (best of 4646)

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
