branchmap: avoid ancestor computations in absence of non-continous branches
The branchhead computation is one of the more heavy operations for
bigger repositories as it has to scan all changesets and potentially
involves the expensive computation of the ancestor sets. Redo the
computation to handle the common cases directly and use tighter
conditions for when the ancestor scan is necessary. Most importantly,
avoid it completely if the non-continous branches are processed in one
update as seen in the initial computation after a clone.
For the Mercurial repository, it gives a small 2-3% performance boost.
For the NetBSD test repository, it cuts the time in half.

+ # The branchheads are computed iteratively in revision order.
+ # This ensures topological order, i.e. parents are processed
+ # before their children. Ancestors are inclusive here, i.e.
+ # any revision is an ancestor of itself.
+ #
+ # Core observations:
+ # - The current revision is always a branchhead for the
+ # repository up to that point.
+ # - It is the first revision of the branch if and only if
+ # there was no branchhead before. In that case, it is the
+ # only branchhead as there are no possible ancestors on
+ # the same branch.
+ # - If a parent is on the same branch, a branchhead can
+ # only be an ancestor of that parent, if it is parent
+ # itself. Otherwise it would have been removed as ancestor
+ # of that parent before.
+ # - Therefore, if all parents are on the same branch, they
+ # can just be removed from the branchhead set.
+ # - If one parent is on the same branch and the other is not
+ # and there was exactly one branchhead known, the existing
+ # branchhead can only be an ancestor if it is the parent.
+ # Otherwise it would have been removed as ancestor of
+ # the parent before. The other parent therefore can't have
+ # a branchhead as ancestor.
+ # - In all other cases, the parents on different branches
+ # could have a branchhead as ancestor. Those parents are
+ # kept in the "uncertain" set. If all branchheads are also
+ # topological heads, they can't have descendants and further
+ # checks can be skipped. Otherwise, the ancestors of the
+ # "uncertain" set are removed from branchheads.
