revert: remove dangerous `parents` argument from `cmdutil.revert()`

As we found out the hard way (thanks to spectral@ for figuring it
out!), `cmdutil.revert()`'s `parents` argument must be
`repo.dirstate.parents()` or things may go wrong. We had an extension
that passed in the target commit as the first parent. The `hg split`
command from the evolve extension seems to have made the same mistake,
but I haven't looked carefully.

The problem is that `cmdutil._performrevert()` calls
`dirstate.normal()` on reverted files if the commit to revert to
equals the first parent. So if you pass in `ctx=foo` and
`parents=(foo.node(), nullid)`, then `dirstate.normal()` will be
called for the revert files, even though they might not be clean in
the working copy.

There doesn't seem to be any reason, other than a tiny performance
benefit, to passing the `parents` around instead of looking them up
again in `cmdutil._performrevert()`, so that's what this patch does.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8925

Checking the size/permissions/file-type of files stored in the
dirstate after an update where the files are changed concurrently
outside of hg's control.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg commit -qAm _
  $ echo aa > a
  $ hg commit -m _

  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          3 (set  |unset)               a (re)

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py << EOF
  > from mercurial import (
  >     extensions,
  >     merge,
  > )
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(merge, 'applyupdates', wrap)
  > def wrap(orig, *args, **kwargs):
  >     res = orig(*args, **kwargs)
  >     with open("a", "w"):
  >         pass # just truncate the file
  >     return res
  > EOF

Do an update where file 'a' is changed between hg writing it to disk
and hg writing the dirstate. The dirstate is correct nonetheless, and
so hg status correctly shows a as clean.

  $ hg up -r 0 --config extensions.race=$TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          2 (set  |unset)               a (re)
  $ echo a > a; hg status; hg diff
