obsolescence: add test for the "branch replacement" logic during push, case C2 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. The current code for this logic is very basic (eg: issue4354) and was poorly tested. We have a better implementation coming in the evolve extension fixing these issues and with more serious tests coverage. In the process of upstreaming this improved logic, we start with adding the test case that are already passing with the current implementation. Once they are all in, we'll upstream the better implementation and the extra test cases. See inline documentation for details about the test case added in this changeset.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
