verify: check the subrepository references in .hgsubstate

While hopefully atypical, there are reasons that a subrepository revision can be
lost that aren't covered by corruption of the .hgsubstate revlog.  Such things
can happen when a subrepo is amended, stripped or simply isn't pulled from
upstream because the parent repo revision wasn't updated yet.  There's no way to
know if it is an error, but this will find potential problems sooner than when
some random revision is updated.

Until recently, convert made no attempt at rewriting the .hgsubstate file.  The
impetuous for this is to verify the conversion of some repositories, and this is
orders of magnitude faster than a bash script from 0..tip that does an
'hg update -C $rev'.  But it is equally useful to determine if everything has
been pulled down before taking a thumb drive on the go.

It feels somewhat wrong to leave this out of verifymod (mostly because the file
is already read in there, and the final summary is printed before the subrepos
are checked).  But verifymod looks very low level, so importing subrepo stuff
there seems more wrong.

Set up a repo

  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interactive = true
  > [extensions]
  > record =
  > EOF

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Record help

  $ hg record -h
  hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  
  interactively select changes to commit
  
      If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by "hg status" will be
      candidates for recording.
  
      See "hg help dates" for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
  
      You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file,
      and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each
      query, the following responses are possible:
  
        y - record this change
        n - skip this change
        e - edit this change manually
  
        s - skip remaining changes to this file
        f - record remaining changes to this file
  
        d - done, skip remaining changes and files
        a - record all changes to all remaining files
        q - quit, recording no changes
  
        ? - display help
  
      This command is not available when committing a merge.
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before
                            committing
      --close-branch        mark a branch head as closed
      --amend               amend the parent of the working directory
   -s --secret              use the secret phase for committing
   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages
   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
   -m --message TEXT        use text as commit message
   -l --logfile FILE        read commit message from file
   -d --date DATE           record the specified date as commit date
   -u --user USER           record the specified user as committer
   -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
   -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
   -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
  
  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
