revrange: don't parse revset aliases as hash prefixes (issue4553)

If a user has a revsetalias defined, it is their explicit wish for
this alias to be parsed as a revset and nothing else. Although the
case of the alias being short enough and only contain the letters a-f
is probably kind of rare, it may still happen.
