revrange: build balanced tree of addsets from revisions (issue4565)

This reduces the stack depth from O(n) to O(log(n)). Therefore, repeated
-rREV options will never exceed the Python stack limit.

Currently it depends on private revset._combinesets() function. But at some
point, we'll be able to drop the old-style parser, and revrange() can be
completely rewritten without using _combinesets():

  trees = [parse(s) for s in revs]
  optimize(('or',) + trees)  # combine trees and optimize at once
  ...

Blockers that prevent eliminating old-style parser:

 - nullary ":" operator
 - revrange(repo, [intrev, ...]), can be mapped to 'rev(%d)' ?
 - revrange(repo, [binnode, ...]), should be banned ?
