histedit: preserve initial author on fold (issue4296)

When the authorship of the changeset folded in does not match that of
the base changeset, we currently use the configured ui.username
instead. This is especially surprising when the user is not the author
of either of the changesets. In such cases, the resulting authorship
(the user's) is clearly incorrect. Even when the user is folding in a
patch they authored themselves, it's not clear whether they should
take over the authorship. Let's instead keep it simple and always
preserve the base changeset's authorship. This is also how
"git rebase -i" handles folding/squashing.

  $ hg init
  $ echo This is file a1 > a
  $ echo This is file b1 > b
  $ hg add a b
  $ hg commit -m "commit #0"
  $ echo This is file b22 > b
  $ hg commit -m "comment #1"
  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ rm b
  $ hg commit -A -m "comment #2"
  removing b
  created new head
  $ hg update 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg update
  abort: not a linear update
  (merge or update --check to force update)
  [255]
  $ rm b
  $ hg update -c
  abort: uncommitted changes
  [255]
  $ hg revert b
  $ hg update -c
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ mv a c

In theory, we shouldn't need the "-y" below, but it prevents this test
from hanging when "hg update" erroneously prompts the user for "keep
or delete".

Should abort:

  $ hg update -y 1
  abort: uncommitted changes
  (commit or update --clean to discard changes)
  [255]
  $ mv c a

Should succeed:

  $ hg update -y 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
