revert: do not reverse hunks in interactive when REV is not parent (issue5096)

And introduce a new "apply" operation verb for this case as suggested in
issue5096. This replaces the no longer used "revert" operation.

In interactive revert, when reverting to something else that the parent
revision, display an "apply this change" message with a diff that is not
reversed.

The rationale is that `hg revert -i -r REV` will show hunks of the diff from
the working directory to REV and prompt the user to select them for applying
(to working directory). This contradicts dcc56e10c23b in which it was
decided to have the "direction" of prompted hunks reversed. Later on
[1], there was a broad consensus (but no decision) towards the "as to
be applied direction". Now that --interactive is no longer experimental
(5910db5d1913), it's time to switch and thus we drop no longer used
"experimental.revertalternateinteractivemode" configuration option.

.. feature::

  When interactive revert is run against a revision other than the working
  directory parent, the diff shown is the diff to *apply* to the working directory,
  rather than the diff to *discard* from the working copy. This is in line with
  related user experiences with `git` and appears to be less confusing with
  `ui.interface=curses`.

test merging things outside of the sparse checkout

  $ hg init myrepo
  $ cd myrepo
  $ cat > .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sparse=
  > EOF

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ echo bar > bar
  $ hg add foo bar
  $ hg commit -m initial

  $ hg branch feature
  marked working directory as branch feature
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ echo bar2 >> bar
  $ hg commit -m 'feature - bar2'

  $ hg update -q default
  $ hg debugsparse --exclude 'bar**'

  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 1 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Verify bar was merged temporarily

  $ ls
  bar
  foo
  $ hg status
  M bar

Verify bar disappears automatically when the working copy becomes clean

  $ hg commit -m "merged"
  cleaned up 1 temporarily added file(s) from the sparse checkout
  $ hg status
  $ ls
  foo

  $ hg cat -r . bar
  bar
  bar2

Test merging things outside of the sparse checkout that are not in the working
copy

  $ hg strip -q -r . --config extensions.strip=
  $ hg up -q feature
  $ touch branchonly
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'add branchonly'

  $ hg up -q default
  $ hg debugsparse -X branchonly
  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 2 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
