Gardening extensions

Not surprisingly, the pager extension isn't the only one in my sights at
the moment.

Here are a few others I've been thinking about.

Proposals to move into core:

* color - approaching its tenth anniversary, and widely used.

* histedit - widely used for 5+ years.

* rebase - almost a decode old, widely used.

Extensions to delete: for each of these, I propose adding a
non-suppressible warning to stderr that it'll be deleted, keeping that
around for one or two release cycles, then deleting the extension.

* children - almost 10 years old, obsoleted by the children() revset
function years ago.

* graphlog - its functionality has been in core hg for almost 5 years.

* record - obsoleted by crecord.

* transplant - sadly not entirely obsoleted by rebase, but kind of an
obscenity anyway :-) (actually I just included this to see who reads this
far)
