rebase: make sure the newancestor is used during the whole update
(issue1561)

Before this change, newancestor was used only once as a replacement
for ancestor.ancestor, but merge.update calls ancestor.ancestor
several times, so it ends up with the "wrong" ancestor (the real
ancestor, but we want the parent of the rebased changeset for all but
the first rebased changeset).

Added a new test case for this: test-rebase-newancestor.

Also, in one scenario in test-rebase-collapse, there was a spurious
conflict caused by the same issue, so that test case was fixed by
removing the now unneeded conflict resolution and the output was
adapted accordingly.

Files
-----

``.hgignore``
    This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
    describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
    see |hgignore(5)|_.

``.hgtags``
    This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
    of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
    the repository contents.

``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
    This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
    ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
    settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
    See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
    files.

Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.

Bugs
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
