Add depends_exact: simplified dependency tracking for dependencies on a single page
Let E be the number of dependencies per page of the form "A depends on B and nothing else", let D be the number of other dependencies per page, let P be the total number of pages, and let C be the number of changed pages in a refresh. This patch should speed up a refresh from O(E*C*P + D*C*P) to O(C + E*P + D*C*P), assuming that hash lookups are O(1). In practice, plugins like inline and map produce a lot of these very simple dependencies, and my album plugin's combination of inline with a large number of pages causes it to suffer particularly badly. In testing on a wiki with about 7000 objects (3500 full pages, 3500 images), a full rebuild continued to take about 5:30, and a refresh after touching about 350 pages and 350 images reduced from 5:30 to 1:30. As with my previous optimizations, this change will result in downgrades not working correctly until the wiki is rebuilt.
