[PATCH 1 of 4 V6] hgweb: highlight data of the current revision in annotate view

[Pierre-Yves David]

I really like the set of feature that this series bring but I'm not very
convinced by their visual rendering

* I like the change in to color for the *link* to the current revision,
but the green *text* (for the content) is far too subtle to me. We
should have something stronger like background color change or something,

* The blocking per similar revision in a good idea, but on large block
this is confusing, I end up having to scroll up for a long time to grab
the link at the start of the block, we should probably think about
something else. For example (random brain storming) we could have the
link dimmed out until you hover your mouse on it. Alternatively, a link
jumping to the start of the block might do.

* I link the fact we have more useful link available when we over on
something. However. I see two issues with it. First, the box is very raw
and a bit cryptic. we should extend the text to make them more explicit.
In addition, from a pure visual perspective, the margin seems too small.
Try to get a graphist to adjust them for you (I heard you have access to
one now ☺)

So to summarize, I link the underlying, but I've reservation on the
visual (as in, I would not like to release them like this).

>From here I can see multiple paths

1) We do a couple round-trip to agree on a new look,
2) We extract the look from the html change, we take the html change
(semantic part) and we iterate on the rendering,
3) We proceed as is, hiding the new feature behind an experimental flag
until we have happy of how they look,
4) Majority of people like it as is and we proceed as is.
