test-obsolete: use 'log -T {node}' instead of 'id --debug -i' to lookup hash

I ran into a case when adding a test where there were cryptic hg command line
errors.  I eventually traced it back to 'hg id' printing debug messages before
the hash:

    invalid branchheads cache (served): tip differs <hash>

This method should eliminate any other output except the node.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
