stablerange: rearrange the reusing logic to prepare to merge
We'll soon be able to reuse some lower range when dealing with merge too. So we
prepare the code for this in advance for clarity.
#require test-repo pyflakes
Copied from Mercurial core (60ee2593a270)
$ cd "`dirname "$TESTDIR"`"
run pyflakes on all tracked files ending in .py or without a file ending
(skipping binary file random-seed)
$ hg locate 'set:(**.py or grep("^#!.*python")) - removed()' 2>/dev/null \
> | xargs pyflakes 2>/dev/null
