topic: support --rev argument and properly process then as user input Revisions inputed by the users should be processed using `scmutil.revrange`. This will take alias into account and allow extensions to monitor the user inputs. As a side effect, the '_changetopics' function takes revisions as argument. make the API clearer.

topic: move a status message in the right scope The finally get runs on failure so we should not advertise rewrite topic in the case. In addition the 'rewrote' variable can be undefined in the finally.

topics: import lock as lockmods We'll need a 'lock' variable in the next changeset. we move the module out of the way ahead of time for clarity.

topics: make sure we have some restrictions on topic names This patch makes sure we don't allow topic names with just whitespaces, and other checks which we do for a bookmark.

topic: add test showing no restrictions on topic names Currently we don't have any restrictions on topic names and each of the topic name works. We want them to not work as some of them are used internally and only integers can be rev numbers too.
