repoview: bypass changelog method to computed cache key

Getting the data necessary for the cache key using the changelog/revlog method
adds a significant overhead. Given how simple the underlying implementation is
and often this code is ran, it makes sense to violate layering and directly
compute the data.

Testing `hg log` on Mozilla-central, this reduce the time spent on changelog
cache validation by an extra half:

before: 12.2s of 69s
after:   6.1s of 62s

Total speed up from this patch and it's parent is 3x

(With stupid python profiler overhead)

The global speedup without profiler overhead is still there,

Before: 51s
After:  39s (-23%)
