pullreport: issue a message about "extinct" pulled changesets

Changeset pulled from a remote repository while already obsolete locally can
end up hidden after the pull. Hiding obsolete changesets is a good behavior
but silently "skipping" some of the pulled content can get confusing.

We now detect this situation and emit a message about it. The message is
simple and the wording could be improved, however, we focus on the detection
here. Evolution is still an experimental feature, so the output is open to
changes.

In particular, we could point out at the latest successors of the obsolete
changesets, however, it can get tricky is there are many of them. So we delay
these improvements to another adventure.

Another easy improvement would be to merge this message with the previous line
about the new nodes and their phases.

This is a good example of cases where we can only transmit a limited amount of
data to users by default. We need some sort of "transaction journal" we could
point the user to.

    '''removes files not tracked by Mercurial

    Delete files not known to Mercurial. This is useful to test local
    and uncommitted changes in an otherwise-clean source tree.

    This means that purge will delete the following by default:

    - Unknown files: files marked with "?" by :hg:`status`
    - Empty directories: in fact Mercurial ignores directories unless
      they contain files under source control management

    But it will leave untouched:

    - Modified and unmodified tracked files
    - Ignored files (unless --all is specified)
    - New files added to the repository (with :hg:`add`)

    The --files and --dirs options can be used to direct purge to delete
    only files, only directories, or both. If neither option is given,
    both will be deleted.

    If directories are given on the command line, only files in these
    directories are considered.

    Be careful with purge, as you could irreversibly delete some files
    you forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the
    list of files that this program would delete, use the --print
    option.
