phabricator: rework phabread to reduce memory usage and round-trips
This patch reworked phabread a bit so it fetches the lightweight
"Differential Revision" metadata for a stack first. Then read other data.
This allows the code to:
a) send 1 request to get all `hg:meta` data instead of N requests
b) patches are read in desired order, no need to buffer the output
"b)" reduces the memory usage from O(N^2) to O(N) since we no longer keep
old patch contents in memory.
The above `N` means the number of patches in the stack.

phabricator: abort if phabsend gets empty revs
Previously we didn't abort. Now we abort if revs is empty. This is
consistent with "hg export" behavior. Maybe "return 1" is also a reasonable
behavior, but that's inconsistent with the existing "hg export".

phabricator: do not upload new diff if nothing changes
Previously, `phabsend` uploads new diffs as long as the commit hash changes.
That's suboptimal because sometimes the diff is exactly the same as before,
the commit hash change is caused by a parent hash change, or commit message
change which do not affect diff content.
This patch adds a check examining actual diff contents to skip uploading new
diffs in that case.

phabricator: add node and p1 to hg:meta property
The "hg:meta" property is for extra metadata to reconstruct the patch.
Previously it does not have node or parent information since I think by
reading the patch again, the commit message will be mangled (like, added the
"Differential Revision" line) and we cannot preserve the commit hash.
However, the "parent" information could be useful. It could be helpful to
locate the "base revision" so in case of a conflict applying the patch
directly, we might be able to use 3-way merge to resolve it correctly.
Note: "local:commits" is an existing "property" used by Phabricator that has
the node and parent information. However, it lacks of timezone information
and requires "author" and "authorEmail" to be separated. So we are using a
different "property" - "hg:meta" to be distinguished from "local:commits".
