patch: rewrite reversehunks (issue5337)

The old reversehunks code accesses "crecord.uihunk._hunk", which is the raw
recordhunk without crecord selection information, therefore "revert -i"
cannot revert individual lines, aka. issue5337.

The patch rewrites related logic to return the right reverse hunk for
revert. Namely,

 1. "fromline" and "toline" are correctly swapped [1]
 2. crecord.uihunk generates a correct reverse hunk [2]

Besides, reversehunks(hunks) will no longer modify its input "hunks", which
is more expected.

[1]: To explain why "fromline" and "toline" need to be swapped, take the
     following example:

  $ cat > a <<EOF
  > 1
  > 2
  > 3
  > 4
  > EOF

  $ cat > b <<EOF
  > 2
  > 3
  > 5
  > EOF

  $ diff a b
  1d0   <---- "1" is "fromline" and "0" is "toline"
  < 1         and they are swapped if diff from the reversed direction
  4c3             |
  < 4             |
  ---             |
  > 5             |
                  |
  $ diff b a      |
  0a1   <---------+
  > 1
  3c4   <---- also "4c3" gets swapped to "3c4"
  < 5
  ---
  > 4

[2]: This is a bit tricky.

For example, given a file which is empty in working parent but has 3 lines
in working copy, and the user selection:

    select hunk to discard
    [x] +1
    [ ] +2
    [x] +3

The user intent is to drop "1" and "3" in working copy but keep "2", so the
reverse patch would be something like:

        -1
         2 (2 is a "context line")
        -3

We cannot just take all selected lines and swap "-" and "+", which will be:

        -1
        -3

That patch won't apply because of "2". So the correct way is to insert "2"
as a "context line" by inserting it first then deleting it:

        -2
        +2

Therefore, the correct revert patch is:

        -1
        -2
        +2
        -3

It could be reordered to look more like a common diff hunk:

        -1
        -2
        -3
        +2

Note: It's possible to return multiple hunks so there won't be lines like
"-2", "+2". But the current implementation is much simpler.

For deletions, like the working parent has "1\n2\n3\n" and it was changed to
empty in working copy:

    select hunk to discard
    [x] -1
    [ ] -2
    [x] -3

The user intent is to drop the deletion of 1 and 3 (in other words, keep
those lines), but still delete "2".

The reverse patch is meant to be applied to working copy which is empty.
So the patch would be:

        +1
        +3

That is to say, there is no need to special handle the unselected "2" like
the above insertion case.

Set up a repo

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Record help

  $ hg record -h
  hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  
  interactively select changes to commit
  
      If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
      candidates for recording.
  
      See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
  
      If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted
      for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with
      multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following
      responses are possible:
  
        y - record this change
        n - skip this change
        e - edit this change manually
  
        s - skip remaining changes to this file
        f - record remaining changes to this file
  
        d - done, skip remaining changes and files
        a - record all changes to all remaining files
        q - quit, recording no changes
  
        ? - display help
  
      This command is not available when committing a merge.
  
  (use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before
                            committing
      --close-branch        mark a branch head as closed
      --amend               amend the parent of the working directory
   -s --secret              use the secret phase for committing
   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages
   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
   -m --message TEXT        use text as commit message
   -l --logfile FILE        read commit message from file
   -d --date DATE           record the specified date as commit date
   -u --user USER           record the specified user as committer
   -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
   -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
   -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
