errors: restructure formatparse() to clarify conditions a bit
The `similar` list will be calculated only for
`error.UnknownIdentifier`. It was then printed only if `inst.location
is None`, which is true for that exception type, but it's an indirect
condition to rely on.
Also, it looked from the code like it could both report similarities
and print a hint. That would be a little awkward because the
similarity report looks similar to the hint (both are printed within
parentheses). I also added a `elif` to clarify that. I plan to
refactor this more coming patches so the similarity report actually is
a hint.

Octopus Merge Support
=====================
This will be moderately complicated, as we'll need to synthesize phony
changeset entries to explode the octopus into "revisions" that only
have two parents each. For today, we can probably just do something like
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaXX{20 bytes of exploded node's hex sha}
where XX is a counter (so we could have as many as 255 parents in a
git commit - more than I think we'd ever see.) That means that we can
install some check in this extension to disallow checking out or
otherwise interacting with the `aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa` revisions.
Interface Creation
====================
We at least need an interface definition for `changelog` in core that
this extension can satisfy, and again for `basicstore`.
Reason About Locking
====================
We should spend some time thinking hard about locking, especially on
.git/index etc. We're probably adequately locking the _git_
repository, but may not have enough locking correctness in places
where hg does locking that git isn't aware of (notably the working
copy, which I believe Git does not lock.)
