copies: consider nullrev a common ancestor
I've seen many bugs in the git codebase that were caused by it not
having a null revision and being forced to treat root commits
differently. Mercurial has a null revision and I think it's generally
a bug to treat it differently from other commits in graph algorithms.
This effectively undoes 83cfa1baf8ad (copies: don't report copies with
unrelated branch, 2010-01-01). The test cases that that commit added
still passes. I suspect some other fix after that commit made it
unnecessary.
