obsolete: fix n^2 marker computation behavior

Previously, if you ran obsolete.createmarkers with a bunch of markers that did
not have successors (like when you do a prune), it encountered a n^2 computation
behavior because the loop would read the changelog (to get ctx.parents()), then
add a marker, in a loop.  Adding a marker invalidated the computehidden cache,
and reading the changelog recomputed it.

This resulted in pruning 150 commits taking 150+ seconds in a large repo.

The fix is to break the reading part of the loop to be separate from the writing
part.
