rhg: fallback when encountering ellipsis revisions

Ellipsis revisions are still experimental and buggy in non-trivial
histories. We currently have no plans to improve this situation nor
to add support for ellipsis revisions in `rhg`.

Falling back should be done carefully (since we may have already done
some work that is visible to the user), but in this case it's highly
unlikely that we're doing anything useful with a repo with ellipsis
revisions, so this should be strictly better, also since the
error message is more explicit.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
