xmlrpc/patch_list: only fetch required fields

OzLabs noticed *massive* slowdowns in queries like this one:

SELECT "patchwork_submission"."id", "patchwork_submission"."msgid",
"patchwork_submission"."date", "patchwork_submission"."headers",
"patchwork_submission"."submitter_id",
"patchwork_submission"."content", "patchwork_submission"."project_id",
"patchwork_submission"."name", "patchwork_patch"."submission_ptr_id",
"patchwork_patch"."diff", "patchwork_patch"."commit_ref",
"patchwork_patch"."pull_url", "patchwork_patch"."delegate_id",
"patchwork_patch"."state_id", "patchwork_patch"."archived",
"patchwork_patch"."hash" FROM "patchwork_patch" INNER JOIN
"patchwork_submission" ON ("patchwork_patch"."submission_ptr_id" =
"patchwork_submission"."id") WHERE
("patchwork_submission"."project_id" = 2 AND
"patchwork_patch"."state_id" = 1) ORDER BY
"patchwork_submission"."date" ASC

These appear to be a result of pwclient list operations. We *do not*
need content/headers/diff in this case - so do not fetch them as it
is incredibly expensive - queries in excess of 50s have been observed.

This should go to stable/2.0.
