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.

  $ hg init
  $ echo foo > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "1"

  $ echo bar > b
  $ hg add b
  $ hg remove a

Should show a removed and b added:

  $ hg status
  A b
  R a

  $ hg revert --all
  undeleting a
  forgetting b

Should show b unknown and a back to normal:

  $ hg status
  ? b

  $ rm b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo foo-a > a
  $ hg commit -m "2a"

  $ hg co -C 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo foo-b > a
  $ hg commit -m "2b"
  created new head

  $ HGMERGE=true hg merge 1
  merging a
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Should show foo-b:

  $ cat a
  foo-b

  $ echo bar > b
  $ hg add b
  $ rm a
  $ hg remove a

Should show a removed and b added:

  $ hg status
  A b
  R a

Revert should fail:

  $ hg revert
  abort: uncommitted merge with no revision specified
  (use "hg update" or see "hg help revert")
  [255]

Revert should be ok now:

  $ hg revert -r2 --all
  undeleting a
  forgetting b

Should show b unknown and a marked modified (merged):

  $ hg status
  M a
  ? b

Should show foo-b:

  $ cat a
  foo-b
