topic: centralize compatibility logic between hg versions into compat module This patch can delay loading obsutil and obsolete modules until they are actually used at "hg topics" or so, if demandimport of Mercurial is enabled.

readme: mention the improvement to stack in the readme

test: issue a clarifying graph print in tests/test-stack-branch.t

stack: properly order stack when gaps existing inside it We transitively search for the next "stack" ancestors, of changeset in the stack not based on other revision of the stack. This should help having a consistent display when topic are interleaved.

stack: display both parent with displaying merge This will help understanding merge in the stack. More test involving merge are adding in the next changeset.

tests: add tests for showing stack when merge is involved This patch adds tests of showing stack when merges are involved. This will help us in changing the behaviour and realising that in later patches.

stack: move data computation on the object We gather multiple data about the stack on the object. Let us move this on the object and keep it cached there.

stack: replace 'getstack' with direct call to 'stack' The dedicated function do not add any value. We can update all the callers.
