rebase: rewrite core algorithm (issue5578) (issue5630)

"defineparents" is the core algorithm of rebase. The old code has too many
tech debts (like outdated comments, confusing assertions, etc) and is very
error-prone to be improved. This patch rewrites "defineparents" to make the
code easier to reason about, and solve a bunch of issues, including:

  - Assertion error: no base found (demonstrated by D212, issue5578)
  - Asymmetric result (demonstrated by D211, "F with one parent")
  - Wrong new parent (demonstrated by D262, "C':A'A'")
  - "revlog index out of range" (demonstrated by D262, issue5630)
  - "nothing to merge" (demonstrated by D262)

As a side effect, merge base decision has been made more solid - rebase now
prints out explicitly what could go wrong when it cannot find a unique
suitable merge base.

.. fix:: Issue 5578, Issue 5630

   Core rebase algorithm has been rewritten to be more robust.
