[PATCH 05/11] Add covering index for /list/ query

In constructing the list of patches for a project, there are two
main queries that are executed:
1) get a count() of how many patches there are
2) Get the page of results being displayed

In a test dataset of ~11500 LKML patches and ~4000 others, the existing
code would take around 585ms and 858ms with a cold cache and 28ms and
198ms for a warm cache.

By adding a covering index, we get down to 4ms and 255ms for a cold
cache, and 4ms and 143ms for a warm cache!

Additionally, when there's a lot of archived or accepted patches
(I used ~11000 archived out of the 15000 total in my test set)
the query time goes from 28ms and 72ms down to 2ms and 33-40ms!
