rust: fix possible out-of-bounds read through index_get_parents() index_get_parents() is an internal function, which doesn't check if the specified rev is valid. If rustlazyancestors() were instantiated with an invalid stoprev, it would access to invalid memory region. This is NOT a security fix as there's no Python code triggering the bug, but included in this series to not give a notion about the memory issue fixed by the previous patch.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
