pick: don't create any successors when there were no changes (issue6093)

For example, when a changeset that user is trying to pick was already grafted
or rebased (and no obsmarkers were created), pick will naturally say that
there's no changes to commit and will not create the new commit. In that case
it should not mark any changeset as a successor of the picked changeset,
because the actual file changes were already there before picking.

Technically, pick could (and did before this patch) mark the wdir commit as a
successor of picked changeset (may be useful in the most trivial cases when
e.g. wdir is a graft of the required change), but there are cases when the
picked change is introduced in an ancestor of wdir, or even in multiple
ancestors piece by piece. Pick definitely shouldn't be trying to guess
something this complicated, so with this patch it always marks the picked
change as pruned if it gave no changes to commit.

# Tutorials

For updating the tutorials, you need to have the docgraph extension installed
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg-docgraph).

Then run the test-topic-tutorial.t and test-tutorial.t to update the output if
needed.

You'll need the dot binary (likely installed by the graphviz package in your
package manager) in order to have graphviz graphs rendered in the html output.

Simply run make in the docs directory should takes care of the conversion of
the tutorial .t files into .rst files. Then sphinx should do the rest of the
jobs by rendering graphviz graphs.
