rewriteutil: add utility function to check if we can create new unstable cset
This patch adds a new file which will contain utility functions related to
rewritting changesets. It also adds a utility function to check if the
rewritting operation creates new unstable changesets and are we allowed to
create them.
This rewriteutil.py introduced in this patch and the utility functions added in
the upcoming patches exists in the evolve extension are being ported from there.

test-run-tests: do not rebuild hg in the test
d600bda4 and
fc0f3ed0 added code to call `$PYTHON run-tests.py ...`. That
will rebuild hg, is slow and could have other crashes from setup.py, like:
Unable to find a working hg binary to extract the version from the
repository tags
Therefore use `run-tests.py -l` instead.
