evolve: store the skippedrevs in evolvestate While doing `hg evolve`, there are some revs which are skipped as they can't be evolved. Before this patch, we did not store this information in evolvestate and neither they were evolved, so `hg evolve --continue` will again try to stabilize those revisions. As much time as we run `hg evolve --continue`, this will happen which is not a good behavior. This patch adds a skippedrevs list to evolvestate where we store such revisions so that we don't try to stabilize them again.
