remotephase: fast path newheads computation in simple case (issue5964)
Changeset
88efb7d6bcb6 fixed the logic of `phases.newheads` but greatly
regressed its performance (up to many order of magnitude). The first step to
fix the regression is to exit early when there is no work to do. If there are
no heads to filter or not roots to filter them, we don't have to do any work.
This fixes the regression when talking to an all public changeset. The
performance is even better than before.

The performance of newheads, when actual computations are required, is fixed
in the next changeset.
