git-debrebase: convert-from-gbp: Use same algorithm for finding upstream
The version is in the changelog, and thus upstream commitish can then be found from as new-upstream. This also means we now give the same error message, which is much better than the one we had before. Closes:#905062. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

It is a snag if it is not an ancestor of HEAD,
or if the history between the upstream and HEAD
contains commits which make changes to upstream files.

+the same algorithm is used as for git-debrebase new-upstream.
It is also a snag if the specified upstream
has a debian/ subdirectory.
