histedit: add description about basic histedit function to command help

Before this patch, there is no explicit description that histedit
edits changesets between specified ancestor and the parent of the
working directory: users may notice it by error message "REV is not an
ancestor of working directory".

This patch adds description about basic histedit function to command
help of it.

This patch uses term "ancestor" instead of "parent", because it seems
to be more suitable, and almost all (error) messages already use it.

revlog.parseindex must be able to parse the index file even if
an index entry is split between two 64k blocks.  The ideal test
would be to create an index file with inline data where
64k < size < 64k + 64 (64k is the size of the read buffer, 64 is
the size of an index entry) and with an index entry starting right
before the 64k block boundary, and try to read it.
We approximate that by reducing the read buffer to 1 byte.
