log: make -fr show complete history from the given revs

Right now it's very obtuse to show the history of a particular rev (hg log -r
'reverse(::foo)'). This changes the -f option to make it follow history for the
revs specified by -r.

The current -f -r behavior is to limit the result of -r to only the
commits that are ancestors of the current working copy. Changing this
is a bit of a BC break, but the old behavior is A) rare, B) easy to
emulate (& ::.), and C) currently undefined. The new behavior is
frequently requested enough that I think the change is worth it.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Ama
  adding a

  $ echo b > b
  $ hg branch b
  marked working directory as branch b
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -Amb
  adding b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Fast-forward:

  $ hg merge b
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ hg ci -Ammerge

Bogus fast-forward should fail:

  $ hg merge b
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)

  $ hg merge ::.
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
