backout: avoid update on simple case.

Before the changeset the backout process was:
1) go to <target>
2) revert to <target> parent
3) update back to changeset we came from

The two update steps can takes a very long time to move back and forth unrelated
file change between <target> and current working directory.

The new process is just merging current working directory with the parent of
<target> using <target> as ancestor. This give the very same result but skip
the two updates. On big repo with a lot of files and changes that save a lots of
time (x20 for one week window).

The "merge" version (hg backout --merge) is still done with upgrades. We could
imagine using in memory commit to speed it up but this is another fish.

  $ "$TESTDIR/hghave" inotify || exit 80
  $ hg init
  $ touch a b
  $ hg add a b
  $ rm b

status without inotify

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "inotify=" >> $HGRCPATH

inserve

  $ hg inserve -d --pid-file=hg.pid 2>&1
  $ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"

status

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  ? hg.pid
  $ sleep 1

Are we able to kill the service? if not, the service died on some error

  $ "$TESTDIR/killdaemons.py" hg.pid
