discovery: be more conservative when adjusting the sample size

Since 5b34972a0094, the discovery will increase the sample size when it detect a
"complex" undecided set. However this detection focussed on the number of roots
only, this could regress discovery performance when the undecided set has many
roots that eventually get merged into a few heads.

To prevent such misbehavior, we adjust the logic to take in account both heads
and roots. The sample size will be increased only if both are especially large.

Performance testing on the same case as 5b34972a0094, does not show a
significant difference.

 """
 Algorithm works in the following way. You have two repository: local and
 remote. They both contains a DAG of changelists.
 
 The goal of the discovery protocol is to find one set of node *common*,
 the set of nodes shared by local and remote.
 
 One of the issue with the original protocol was latency, it could
 potentially require lots of roundtrips to discover that the local repo was a
 subset of remote (which is a very common case, you usually have few changes
 compared to upstream, while upstream probably had lots of development).
 
 The new protocol only requires one interface for the remote repo: `known()`,
 which given a set of changelists tells you if they are present in the DAG.
 
 The algorithm then works as follow:
 
  - We will be using three sets, `common`, `missing`, `unknown`. Originally
  all nodes are in `unknown`.
  - Take a sample from `unknown`, call `remote.known(sample)`
    - For each node that remote knows, move it and all its ancestors to `common`
    - For each node that remote doesn't know, move it and all its descendants
    to `missing`
  - Iterate until `unknown` is empty
 
 There are a couple optimizations, first is instead of starting with a random
 sample of missing, start by sending all heads, in the case where the local
 repo is a subset, you computed the answer in one round trip.
 
 Then you can do something similar to the bisecting strategy used when
 finding faulty changesets. Instead of random samples, you can try picking
 nodes that will maximize the number of nodes that will be
 classified with it (since all ancestors or descendants will be marked as well).
