revset: speed up existence checks for ordered filtered sets

Previously, calling 'if foo:' on a ordered filtered set would start iterating in
whatever the current direction was and return if a value was available. If the
current direction was ascending, but the set had a fastdesc available, this
meant we did a lot more work than necessary.

If this was applied without my previous max/min fixes, it would improve max()
performance (this was my first attempt at fixing the issue). Since those
previous fixes went in though, this doesn't have a visible benefit in the
benchmarks, but it does seem clearly better than it was before so I think it
should still go in.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
