obsolescence: add test for the "branch replacement" logic during push, case B6

Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.

This changeset adds test for the improved "branch replacement" logic introduce
in an earlier commits. This tests initially lived in the evolve extensions.
Since we now have the code handling this logic in core, it make sense to have
the tests in core too.

See inline documentation for details about the test case added in this
changeset.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not
# enable evolution markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not
# enable evolution markers, hg will occasionally complain
# when it notices them, which disrupts tests resulting in
# sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the
# test-repo, there's no harm in telling hg that we support
# evolution markers, which is what the following lines
# for the hgrc file do:
cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
[experimental]
evolution=createmarkers
EOF
