rebase: always be graft-like, not merge-like, also for merges

Rebase works by updating to a commit and then grafting changes on
top. However, before this patch, it would actually merge in changes
instead of grafting them in in some cases. That is, it would use the
common ancestor as base instead of using one of the parents. That
seems wrong to me, so I'm changing it so `defineparents()` always
returns a value for `base`.

This fixes the bad behavior in test-rebase-newancestor.t, which was
introduced in 65f215ea3e8e (tests: add test for rebasing merges with
ancestors of the rebase destination, 2014-11-30).

The difference in test-rebase-dest.t is because the files in the tip
revision were A, D, E, F before this patch and A, D, F, G after it. I
think both files should ideally be there.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
