rust: pure Rust lazyancestors iterator

This is the first of a patch series aiming to provide an
alternative implementation in the Rust programming language
of the _lazyancestorsiter from the ancestor module.

This iterator has been brought to our attention by the people at
Octobus, as a potential good candidate for incremental "oxydation"
(rewriting in Rust), because it has shown performance issues lately
and it merely deals with ints (revision numbers) obtained by calling
the index, whih should be directly callable from Rust code,
being itself implemented as a C extension.

The idea behind this series is to provide a minimal example of Rust code
collaborating with existing C and Python code. To open the way to gradually
rewriting more of Mercurial's Python code in Rust, without being forced to pay
a large initial cost of rewriting the existing fast core into Rust.

This patch does not introduce any bindings to other Mercurial code
yet. Instead, it introduces the necessary abstractions to address the problem
independently, and unit-test it.

Since this is the first use of Rust as a Python module within Mercurial,
the hg-core crate gets created within this patch. See its Cargo.toml for more
details.

Someone with a rustc/cargo installation may chdir into rust/hg-core and
run the tests by issuing:

   cargo test --lib

The algorithm is a bit simplified (see details in docstrings),
and at its simplest becomes rather trivial, showcasing that Rust has
batteries included too: BinaryHeap, the Rust analog of Python's heapq
does actually all the work.

The implementation can be further optimized and probably be made more
idiomatic Rust.

+/// Main implementation.
+///
+/// The algorithm is the same as in `_lazyancestorsiter()` from `ancestors.py`
+/// with a few non crucial differences:
+///
+/// - there's no filtering of invalid parent revisions. Actually, it should be
+///   consistent and more efficient to filter them from the end caller.
+/// - we don't use the equivalent of `heapq.heapreplace()`, but we should, for
+///   the same reasons (using `peek_mut`)
+/// - we don't have the optimization for adjacent revs (case where p1 == rev-1)
+/// - we save a few pushes by comparing with `stoprev` before pushing
+///
+/// Error treatment:
+/// We swallow the possible GraphError of conditionally_push_parents() to
+/// respect the Iterator trait in a simple manner: never emitting parents
+/// for the returned revision. We finds this good enough for now, because:
+///
+/// - there's a good chance that invalid revisionss are fed from the start,
+///   and `new()` doesn't swallow the error result.
+/// - this is probably what the Python implementation produces anyway, due
+///   to filtering at each step, and Python code is currently the only
+///   concrete caller we target, so we shouldn't need a finer error treatment
+///   for the time being.
