forget: support forgetting explicit paths in subrepos

Change the behavior of the forget command such that explicit paths in
subrepos are handled by forgetting the file in the subrepo. This eliminates the
previous behavior where if you called "hg forget" for an explicit path in a
subrepo, it would state that the file is already untracked.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
