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.

revset: remove existence check from min() and max() min() and max() would first do an existence check. Unfortunately existence checks can be slow in certain situations (like if the smartset is a list, and quickly iterable in both ascending and descending directions, then doing an existence check will start from the bottom, even if you want to check the max()). The fix is to not do the check, and just handle the error if it happens. In a large repo, this speeds up: hg log -r 'max(parents(. + .^) - (. + .^) & ::master)' from 3.5s to 0.85s. That revset is contrived and just for testing. In our real case we used 'bundle()' in place of '. + .^' Interesting perf numbers for the revset benchmarks: max(draft() and ::tip) => 0.027s to 0.0005s max(author(lmoscovicz)) => 2.48s to 0.57s min doesn't show any perf changes, but changing it as well will prevent a perf regression in my next patch.

update: move default destination into a revset This is another step toward having "default" destination more clear and unified. Not all the logic is there because some bookmark related computation happened elsewhere. It will be moved later. The function is private because as for the other ones, cleanup is needed before we can proceed.

merge: move default destination computation in a revset This is another step toward having "default" destination more clear and unified.

mergecmd: simplify conditional The previous if tested the same thing with 'if repo._activebookmark'. We make the if/else logic clearer before a bigger refactoring.

rebase: move destination computation in a revset This is the first step toward making the "default destination" logic more clear and unified. The revset is private because I'm happy to delay the bikeshedding until after the clean up happened.
