subrepo: add the parent context to hgsubrepo

This brings parity with gitsubrepo and svnsubrepo (which already reference their
parent), and will be used in an upcoming patch.

I'm a bit concerned that the parent context could get stale (consider what
happens when the parent repo is reverted for example).  I tried adding the
parent context to the substate tuple so that the parent is available everywhere
a state change is possible, but that made submerge() unhappy.  Even with
removing the parent context inside submerge(), I wasn't able to get all of the
test diffs fixed.

But since the other subrepos reference their parent too, if there is a problem,
it is a preexisting one (that nobody seems to be running into).  It can be fixed
if/when it pops up.

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py
