In multiple places in the code, we use `someset[0]` or `someset[-1]`. This
works only because the `someset` is usually a baseset. For the same reason we
introduce a `first` and `last` methods to be implemented for all smartset
classes.
A `baseset` has multiple cached results and will get even more in the future.
Making it an object "populated once" like the other smartsets makes it both safer
and simpler. The append method will be removed at some point.

The expected iteration order may be different than the fast iteration order (eg:
ancestors(42) is expected to be iterated upward but is fast/lazy to compute
downward.
So we explicitly track the iteration order and enforce it if the manual
iteration is requested.
Default expected iteration order of a generator set is ascending because I'm
not aware of any descending revset that need a generatorset. The first to find
such descending revset will have the pleasure to make this configurable.
The utility of this cache is debatable (no visible benchmark impact) and using
generatorset for such purpose makes the code complicated.
We drop it for now. Someone can reintroduce a smart version of it in the future
if it is detected to be relevant.
When all revisions are known, we shortcut most of the class logic to use list
iteration instead. The cost of the sort is expected to be non-significant. The
list creation and sorting could be done lazily in the future. We have to copy
the list to not break existing iterator created before we finished consuming the
generator.
We gain a parameter to inform that the generator is ascending or descending. If
the generator is ordered, it is also used for the `fastasc` or `fastdesc`
version.
The _ascgeneratorset and _descgeneratorset class will be removed soon.
Better revset performance are also achieved with less overlay. There is no good
reason for addset to not be a smartset. We can replace the `_orderedsetmixin`
inheritance since `abstractsmartset` has efficient min and max too.
We have two goals here. First, we would like to restore the former iteration
order we had in 2.9. Second, we want this logic to be reusable for `fastasc`
and `fastdesc` methods.
