Read what a page needs once per request

A page and its header are built from the same facts, and each of them was
read separately: the repository (twice, each resolving HEAD's branch with
a git call), the open change requests (once for the header's count, once
for the page), and a change request looked up by reading every request.
On a repository with 30 change requests the overview paid 21 git
invocations after the metadata batching, and the requests list still paid
8.

Give each read request one memo, installed by the middleware, and have the
handlers and the header read through it. It lasts one request and covers
reads only: a request that writes metadata gets no memo, so there is no
TTL, no cross-request cache, and no invalidation protocol, and a push is
still visible on the next page load.

The header now takes the page it is rendering (`nav .Page "issues"`)
instead of six fields the view already carries, which is also why the memo
can reach it at all. Templates are unchanged in what they output.
