Optimize the dependencies list
On a large wiki you can spend a lot of time reading through large lists
of dependencies to see whether files need to be rebuilt (album, with its
one-page-per-photo arrangement, suffers particularly badly from this).
The dependency list is currently a single pagespec, but it's not used like
a normal pagespec - in practice, it's a list of pagespecs joined with the
"or" operator.
Accordingly, change it to be stored as a list of pagespecs. On a wiki
with many tagged photo albums, this reduces the time to refresh after
`touch tags/*.mdwn` from about 31 to 25 seconds.
Getting the benefit of this change on an existing wiki requires a rebuild.
