template: add predecessors template

Add a 'predecessors' template that returns the list of all closest known
predecessors for a changectx. The elements of the list are row changectx node id
formatted by default as short nodes.

The "closest predecessors" are the first locally known revisions encountered
while, walking predecessors markers. For example:

  1) If a (A, (B)) markers exists and both A and B are locally known A is a
  closest predecessors of B.

  2) If a (A, (B)) and (B, (C)) markers exists and only A and C are known
  locally, A will be the closest precursors of C.

This logic respect repository filtering. So hidden revision will be skipped by
this logic unless --hidden is specified. Since we only display the visible
predecessors, this template will not display anything in most case. It makes a
good candidate for inclusion in the default log output.

I added a new test-file for testing the precursors in various scenarios. This
test file will also be used for the successors template.

A new "obsutil" module has been added to start gathering utility function
outside of the large obsolete.py module.

Create a repository:

  $ hg config
  devel.all-warnings=true
  devel.default-date=0 0
  largefiles.usercache=$TESTTMP/.cache/largefiles (glob)
  ui.slash=True
  ui.interactive=False
  ui.mergemarkers=detailed
  ui.promptecho=True
  web.address=localhost
  web\.ipv6=(?:True|False) (re)
  $ hg init t
  $ cd t

Prepare a changeset:

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a

  $ hg status
  A a

Writes to stdio succeed and fail appropriately

#if devfull
  $ hg status 2>/dev/full
  A a

  $ hg status >/dev/full
  abort: No space left on device
  [255]

  $ hg status >/dev/full 2>&1
  [1]

  $ hg status ENOENT 2>/dev/full
  [1]
#endif

  $ hg commit -m test

This command is ancient:

  $ hg history
  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     test
  

Verify that updating to revision 0 via commands.update() works properly

  $ cat <<EOF > update_to_rev0.py
  > from mercurial import ui, hg, commands
  > myui = ui.ui.load()
  > repo = hg.repository(myui, path='.')
  > commands.update(myui, repo, rev=0)
  > EOF
  $ hg up null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ python ./update_to_rev0.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg identify -n
  0


Poke around at hashes:

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

  $ hg cat a
  a

Verify should succeed:

  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  1 files, 1 changesets, 1 total revisions

At the end...

  $ cd ..
