obsutil: fix the issue5686

While traversing the obsolescence graph to find the successors sets
of csets:
    In its 4th case (read comments of obsutil.successorssets to see
    all 4 cases) where we know successors sets of all direct successors
    of CURRENT, we were just missing a condition to filter out the case
    when a cset is pruned.
    And without this condition (that this patch added) it was making a whole
    successor set to [] just because of one pruned marker.

For e.g:if following is the successors set of a cset A:
           A -> [a, b, c]

        if we prune c, we expect A's successors set to be [a, b] but
        you would get:
           A -> []
So this patch make sure that we calculate the right successorsset of csets
considering the pruned cset (in split case).

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.

To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::

  [extensions]
  foo =

You may also specify the full path to an extension::

  [extensions]
  myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.

Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.

To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::

  [extensions]
  # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
  bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
  # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
  baz = !
