baseset: implement a fastasc and fastdesc

Baseset contains already-computed revisions. It is considered "cheap" to do
operations on an already-computed set. So we add attributes to hold version of
the list in ascending and descending order and use them for `fastasc` and
`fastdesc`. Having distinct lists is important to provide correct iteration in
all cases. Altering a python list will impact an iterator connected to it.

eg: not preserving order at iterator creation time

    >>> l = [0, 1]
    >>> i = iter(l)
    >>> l.reverse()
    >>> list(i)
    [1, 0]

eg: corrupting in progress iteration

    >>> l = [0, 1]
    >>> i = iter(l)
    >>> i.next()
    0
    >>> l.reverse()
    >>> i.next()
    0
