chore: fast-path mpool pending

[LesnyRumcajs]

Summary of changes

Changes introduced in this pull request:

• there's no need to build that hashset since it won't be used under these conditions; I'm kind of surprised the compiler didn't mark it as unused. In any case, saves some allocations and computation on the hot path (not that much to be very visible in benchmarks, though, likely in microseconds maaybe millisecond land in typical mainnet tipset).
• avoid some redundant hand-crafted clone on a vec 🧐

Walkthrough

MpoolPending::handle now returns current pending messages for newer or equal tipsets. It also converts pending messages directly into NotNullVec through a new derived conversion.

Mpool pending retrieval

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Early return and result conversion src/rpc/methods/mpool.rs, src/lotus_json/vec.rs	MpoolPending::handle skips historical merging for newer or equal tipsets. Pending messages use direct NotNullVec conversion. NotNullVec<T> derives derive_more::From.
