update: allow branch crossing without -c or -C, with no uncommitted changes

Update will now allow crossing branches within the same named branch,
when given a specific revision, if the working dir is clean, without
requiring the -c or -C option. Abort if no revision is given and
this would cross branches.  Minor change to abort message if
uncommitted changes are found.

Modify test-update-branches and output to reflect the altered case. Modify
test-merge5.out to reflect the altered case. Modify
test-up-local-change.out with new message.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
