revset: translate node directly with changelog in 'head'
Using 'repo[X]' is much slower because it creates a 'changectx' object and goes
though multiple layers of code to do so. It is also error prone if there is
tags, bookmarks, branch or other names that could map to a node hash and take
precedence (user are wicked).
This provides a significant performance boost on repository with a lot of
heads. Benchmark result for a repo with 1181 heads.
