context: avoid using a context object as a changeid

Summary

I find it misleading to pass changeid=changectx. It currently works to
do that because there's weird (IMO) handling of it in
basectx.new. I'm planning on removing that code. Passing changeid
as "changeid" and context as "context" makes it more readable.

Note that the documentation of filectx.init doesn't even seem to
be aware that a changeid can be a context ("changeset revision, node,
or tag").
