histedit: allow operation from non-head if obsolete is enabled
Obsolescence markers can represent this situation just fine. Rewritten
revisions are marked as precursors of the ones creates by
histedit. Unaffected descendants become "unstable".
If obsolescence is not enabled we keep the current behavior of
aborting. This new behavior only applies when obsolete is
enabled and is subject to future discussion and changes.
