revset: add startdepth limit to ancestors() as internal option

This is necessary to implement the set{gen} (set subscript) operator. For
example, set{-n} will be translated to ancestors(set, depth=n, startdepth=n).

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RevsetOperatorPlan#ideas_from_mpm

The UI is undecided and I doubt if the startdepth option would be actually
useful, so the option is hidden for now. 'depth' could be extended to take
min:max range, in which case, integer depth should select a single generation.

  ancestors(set, depth=:y)  # scan up to y-th generation
  ancestors(set, depth=x:)  # skip until (x-1)-th generation
  ancestors(set, depth=x)   # select only x-th generation

Any ideas are welcomed.
