revert: special case 'hg revert --all'

On large repos, hg revert --all can take over 13 seconds. This is mainly due to
it walking the tree three times: once to find the list of files in the
dirstate, once to find the list of files in the target, and once to compute the
status from the dirstate to the target.

This optimizes the hg revert --all case to only require the final status. This
speeds it up to 1.3 seconds or so (with hgwatchman enabled).

Further optimizations could be done for the -r NODE and pattern cases, but they
are significantly more complex.

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
