Add incremental blame support

This adds a sibling method to Repo's blame method:

    Repo.blame_incremental(rev, path, **kwargs)

This can alternatively be called using:

    Repo.blame(rev, path, incremental=True)

The main difference is that blame incremental is a bit more efficient
and does not return the full file's contents, just the commits and the
line number ranges.  The parser is a bit more straight-forward and
faster since the incremental output format is defined a little stricter.
