merge.graft: add option to keep second parent
Currently merge.graft re-writes the dirstate so only a single
parent is kept. For some cases, like evolving a merge commit,
this behaviour is not desired. More specifically, this is
needed to fix
issue4389.

ui: support declaring path push urls as sub-options
Power users often want to apply per-path configuration options. For
example, they may want to declare an alternate URL for push operations
or declare a revset of revisions to push when `hg push` is used
(as opposed to attempting to push all revisions by default).
This patch establishes the use of sub-options (config options with
":" in the name) to declare additional behavior for paths.
New sub-options are declared by using the new ``@ui.pathsuboption``
decorator. This decorator serves multiple purposes:
* Declaring which sub-options are registered
* Declaring how a sub-option maps to an attribute on ``path``
instances (this is needed to `hg paths` can render sub-options
and values properly)
* Validation and normalization of config options to attribute
values
* Allows extensions to declare new sub-options without monkeypatching
* Allows extensions to overwrite built-in behavior for sub-option
handling
As convenient as the new option registration decorator is, extensions
(and even core functionality) may still need an additional hook point
to perform finalization of path instances. For example, they may wish
to validate that multiple options/attributes aren't conflicting with
each other. This hook point could be added later, if needed.
To prove this new functionality works, we implement the "pushurl"
path sub-option. This option declares the URL that `hg push` should
use by default.
We require that "pushurl" is an actual URL. This requirement might be
controversial and could be dropped if there is opposition. However,
objectors should read the complicated code in ui.path.__init__ and
commands.push for resolving non-URL values before making a judgement.
We also don't allow #fragment in the URLs. I intend to introduce a
":pushrev" (or similar) option to define a revset to control which
revisions are pushed when "-r <rev>" isn't passed into `hg push`.
This is much more powerful than #fragment and I don't think #fragment
is useful enough to continue supporting.
The [paths] section of the "config" help page has been updated
significantly. `hg paths` has been taught to display path sub-options.
The docs mention that "default-push" is now deprecated. However, there
are several references to it that need to be cleaned up. A large part
of this is converting more consumers to the new paths API. This will
happen naturally as more path sub-options are added and more and more
components need to access them.

ui: pass ui instance to path.__init__
It will be used in a subsequent patch.

ui: store pushloc as separate attribute
The magic @property is going to interfere with the ability to print
path sub-options. We only access it in one location and it is trivial
to in-line, so do that.

commands: add debugdeltachain command
We have debug commands for displaying overall revlog statistics
(debugrevlog) and for dumping a revlog index (debugindex). As part
of investigating various aspects of revlog behavior and performance,
I found it important to have an understanding of how revlog
delta chains behave in practice.
This patch implements a "debugdeltachain" command. For each revision
in a revlog, it dumps information about the delta chain. Which delta
chain it is part of, length of the delta chain, distance since base
revision, info about base revision, size of the delta chain, etc. The
generic formatting facility is used, which means we can templatize
output and get machine readable output like JSON.
This command has already uncovered some weird history in
mozilla-central I didn't know about. So I think it's valuable.

histedit: pick an appropriate base changeset by default (BC)
Previously, `hg histedit` required a revision argument specifying which
revision to use as the base for the current histedit operation. There
was an undocumented and experimental "histedit.defaultrev" option that
supported defining a single revision to be used if no argument is
passed.
Mercurial knows what changesets can be edited. And in most scenarios,
people want to edit this history of everything on the current head that
is rewritable. Making histedit do this by default and not require
an explicit argument or additional configuration is a major usability
win and will enable more people to use histedit.
This patch changes the behavior of the experimental and undocumented
"histedit.defaultrev" config option to select an appropriate base
revision by default. Comprehensive tests exercising the edge cases
in the new, somewhat complicated default revset have been added.
Surprisingly, no tests broke. I guess we were never testing the
behavior with no ANCESTOR argument (it used to fail with
"abort: histedit requires exactly one ancestor revision"). The new
behavior is much more user friendly.
The functionality for choosing the default base revision has been
moved to destutil.py, where it can easily be modified by extensions.
