revset: factor out getinteger() helper

We have 4 revset functions that take integer arguments, and they handle
their arguments in slightly different ways. This patch unifies them:

 - getstring() in place of getsymbol(), which is more consistent with the
   handling of integer revisions (both 1 and '1' are valid)
 - say "expects" instead of "requires" for type errors

We don't need to catch TypeError since getstring() must return a string.
