extensions: add getwrapperchain to get a list of wrappers

The getwrapperchain returns a list of wrappers + the original function, making
it easier to understand what has been wrapped by whom. For example:

  In : mercurial.extensions.getwrapperchain(mercurial.dispatch, '_runcommand')
  Out:
  [<function hgext.pager.pagecmd>,
   <function hgext.color.colorcmd>,
   <function hgext.zeroconf.cleanupafterdispatch>,
   <function mercurial.dispatch._runcommand>]

It will also be useful to safely unwrap a function. See the next patch.
