evolve: use stack template in --continue case also

We use stack indexes (s#) in evolve msging when revs being evolved are
in active topic. Before this patch we are not covering the --continue case.
So this patch cover the same and use the stack indexes s# even when we
continue an interrupted evolve.

In this patch I used the same concept (to check if we should use s#)
as we are using in cases other than `--continue`. Thanks to PYD for
refactoring those lines.
Changes in tests also reflects the expected behaviour.

Topic Extension
================

This packages also provides the ``topic`` experiment in an independent
extension. It implements a new experimental concept to provide lightweight
feature branches for the mutable parts of the history. The experiments is still
at an early stage and have significant usability and performance issues when
enabled.
