branch: allow changing branch name to existing name if possible

With the functionality added in previous patch we can change branches of a
revision but not everytime even if it's possible to do so. For example cosider
the following case:

o 3  added a (foo)
o 2  added b (foo)
o 1  added c (bar)
o 0  added d (bar)

Here if I want to change the branch of rev 2,3 to bar, it was not possible and
it will say, "a branch with same name exists".

This patch allows us to change branch of 2,3 to bar. The underlying logic for
changing branch finds the changesets from the revs passed which have no parents
in revs. We only support revsets which have only one such root, so to support
this we check whether the parent of the root has the same name as that of the
new name and if so, we can use the new name to change branches.

In the merge below, the file "foo" has the same contents in both
parents, but if we look at the file-level history, we'll notice that
the version in p1 is an ancestor of the version in p2. This test makes
sure that we'll use the version from p2 in the manifest of the merge
revision.

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add foo'

  $ echo bar >> foo
