templater: use unfiltered changelog to calculate shortest() at O(log(N))

cl._partialmatch() can be pretty slow if hidden revisions are involved. This
patch cancels the slowdown introduced by the previous patch by using an
unfiltered changelog, which means shortest(node) isn't always the shortest.

The result isn't perfect, but seems okay as long as shortest(node) is short
enough to type and can be used as an identifier.

  (with hidden revisions)
  % hg log -R hg-committed -r0:20000 -T '{node|shortest}\n' --time > /dev/null

  (.)   time: real 1.680 secs (user 1.650+0.000 sys 0.020+0.000)
