bookmarks: allow moving a bookmark forward to a descendant

Allow 'hg bookmark MARK', with an existing bookmark MARK, to move the
bookmark forward to the current or specified revision, if the target
revision is a descendant of the revision the bookmark currently points
to. Prints a status message including the revision the bookmark was
formerly at:

  $ hg bookmark Z
  moving bookmark 'Z' forward from 663762316562

Test coverage is added.
