evolve: distinct between '--all' and '--all --any'

Before this patch, evolve --all implied evolve --all --any. With this patch
evolve --all evolves all the aspiring descendants of the parent of the working
copy. evolve --all --any does what evolve --all did before: evolving all the
troubles in the repo.

We add  anew function _aspiringdescendant for this purpose

=============================
Mutable History For Mercurial
=============================

This package supplies the ``evolve`` extension for Mercurial, which
provides several commands to mutate history and deal with the
resulting issues.

It also:

    - enables the "changeset obsolescence" feature of Mercurial
    - issues several warning messages when trouble appears in your repository

**This extension is experimental and not yet meant for production.**

You can enable it by adding the line below to the ``extensions``
section of your hgrc::

    evolve = PATH/TO/mutable-history/hgext/evolve.py

We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is
available here:

    http://evolution.experimentalworks.net/doc/

Or see the ``doc/`` directory for a local copy.

Bugs are to be reported on the mercurial's bug tracker: http://bz.selenic.com/
Use the the "evolution" component.

Please use the patchbomb extension to send email to mercurial devel. Please
make sure to use the evolve-ext flag when doing so. You can use a command like
this:

    hg email --to [e-mail] --flag evolve-ext --rev '<your patches>'
