discovery: use a lower level but faster way to retrieve parents

We already know that no revision in the undecided set are filtered, so we can
skip multiple checks and directly access lower level data.

In a private pathological case, this improves the timing from about 70 seconds
to about 50 seconds. There are other actions to be taken to improve that case,
however this gives an idea of the general overhead.

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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
