snapshot: refine candidate snapshot base upward
Once we found a suitable snapshot base it is useful to check if it has a
"children" snapshot that would provide a better diff. This is useful when base
not directly related to stored revision are picked. In those case, we "jumped"
to this new chain at an arbitrary point, checking if a higher point is more
appropriate will help to provide better results and increase snapshot reuse.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit 273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
