rust-changelog: remove special parsing of empty changelog data for null rev

For the null revision, `Revlog::get_rev_data()` will return an empty
string (of bytes). We currently handle that case in
`ChangelogRevisionData::manifest_node()`. However, it's going to be
ugly to have special handling for the null revision for each future
method on `ChangelogRevisionData`. This patch therefore restructures
the code so we instead initialize the struct with valid data for the
null revision.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
