phabricator: ensure that `phabsend` is given a contiguous, linear commit range

Supplying a non-linear range was another orphan factory.  While in theory there
could be a use case for skipping over garbage commits (like adding debugging)
and getting the valuable commits extracted out at the same time as posting a
review, it seems far more likely that specifying a non-linear range is a user
error.  This is another case of issue6045, but predates both 0680b8a1992a and
601ce5392cb0.

Neither the `--no-amend` case nor resubmitting a previously submitted commit
would cause orphans.  But for the sake of simplicity and to keep the parents
tracked on Phabricator in the proper state, ban missing commits unconditionally.

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).
