template: fix shortest(node) function in pure mercurial
Pure mercurial (i.e. without c extensions) does not support partialmatch() on
the revlog index, so we must fall back to use revlog._partialmatch() to handle
that case for us. The tests caught this.
We don't use revlog._partialmatch() for the normal case because it performs a
very expensive index iteration when the string being tested fails to find a
unique result via index.partialmatch(). It does this in order to filter
out hidden revs in hopes of the string being unique amongst non-hidden revs.
For the shortest(node) case, we'd prefer performance over worrying about
hidden revs.

Update --clean to revision 1 to simulate a failed merge:
$ rm alpha beta gamma
$ hg update --clean 1
