context: add an assertion checking linerange consistency in blockdescendants()

If this assertion fails, this indicates a flaw in the algorithm. So fail fast
instead of possibly producing wrong results.

Also extend the target line range in test to catch a merge changeset with all
its parents.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
