context: follow all branches in blockdescendants()

In the initial implementation of blockdescendants (and thus followlines(...,
descend=True) revset), only the first branch encountered in descending
direction was followed.

Update the algorithm so that all children of a revision ('x' in code) are
considered. Accordingly, we need to prevent a child revision to be yielded
multiple times when it gets visited through different path, so we skip 'i'
when this occurs. Finally, since we now consider all parents of a possible
child touching a given line range, we take care of yielding the child if it
has a diff in specified line range with at least one of its parent (same logic
as blockancestors()).

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).
