emitrevision: if we need to compute a delta on the fly, try p1 or p2 first

Falling back to `prev` does not yield any real value on modern storage and
result in pathological changes to be created on the other side. Doing a delta
against a parent will likely be smaller (helping the network) and will be safer
to apply on the client (helping future pulls by Triggering intermediate
snapshop where they will be needed by later deltas).

A script that implements uppercasing all letters in a file.

  $ UPPERCASEPY="$TESTTMP/uppercase.py"
  $ cat > $UPPERCASEPY <<EOF
  > import sys
  > from mercurial.utils.procutil import setbinary
  > setbinary(sys.stdin)
  > setbinary(sys.stdout)
  > sys.stdout.write(sys.stdin.read().upper())
  > EOF
  $ TESTLINES="foo\nbar\nbaz\n"
  $ printf $TESTLINES | "$PYTHON" $UPPERCASEPY
  FOO
  BAR
  BAZ
