outgoing: fix common-heads computation from `missingroots` argument

When initializing a `outgoing` object, the `common set` can be defined explicitly (with the `commonheads` argument`) or implicitly (with the missingroots arguments).

It turns out the logic to compute `commonheads` from `missingroots` is buggy, as it does not consider the parents of enough changesets. Previously, it only considered parents of "missingroots` items, while it need to consider all parents of missing. Here is an example:

  F
  |\
  C E
  | |
  B D
  |/
  A

If we use [E] as missing-roots, the missing set is [E, F], and the common-heads
are [C, D]. However you cannot only consider the parent of [E] to find them, as
[C] is not a parent of [E].

This already fix the bundle generated in one test, and it would prevent many
other to misbehave with future change from this series.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
