grep: make -frREV follow history from the specified revision (BC)

This is close to what "log -frREV" will do, and is backported from
8b4b9ee6001a, "log: make -fr show complete history from the given revs"
except for the "del opts['follow']" bit.

I'm planning to rewrite cmdutil.walkchangerevs() to share the core logic
with logcmdutil, and this is the first step towards that. There are still
many broken tests, but the fundamental behavior should be fixed by this
patch.

.. bc::

   `hg grep -fr REV` now follows history from the specified `REV`, works in
   the same way as `hg log -fr REV`. The previous behavior was to limit
   the search space to `REV` while following the history.

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).
