shelve: keep old backups if timestamp can't decide exact order of them

Before this patch, backups to be discarded are decided by steps below
at 'hg unshelve' or so:

  1. list '(st_mtime, filename)' tuples of each backups up
  2. sort list of these tuples, and
  3. discard backups other than 'maxbackups' ones at the end of list

This doesn't work well in the case below:

  - "sort by name" order differs from actual backup-ing order, and
  - some of backups have same timestamp

For example, 'test-shelve.t' satisfies the former condition:

  - 'default-01' < 'default-1' in "sort by name" order
  - 'default-1'  < 'default-01' in actual backup-ing order

Then, 'default-01' is discarded instead of 'default-1' unexpectedly,
if they have same timestamp. This failure appears occasionally,
because the most important condition "same timestamp" is timing
critical.

To avoid such unexpected discarding, this patch keeps old backups if
timestamp can't decide exact order of them.

Timestamp of the border backup (= the oldest one of recent
'maxbackups' ones) as 'bordermtime' is used to examine whether
timestamp can decide exact order of backups.

b51a8138292a introduced a regression where we would mention in the
changelog executable files added by the second parent of a merge. Test
that that doesn't happen anymore

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo foo > foo
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add foo'

  $ echo bar > bar
  $ chmod +x bar
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add bar'

manifest of p2:

  $ hg manifest
  bar
  foo

  $ hg up -qC 0
  $ echo >> foo
  $ hg ci -m 'change foo'
  created new head

manifest of p1:

  $ hg manifest
  foo

  $ hg merge
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ chmod +x foo
  $ hg ci -m 'merge'

this should not mention bar but should mention foo:
