lfs: allow a pointer to be extracted from a context that removes the file
This is needed to let 'set:lfs()' and '{lfs_files}' work normally on removed
files.
Yuya suggested returning a null pointer for removed files, instead of the
pointer from the parent. The first attempt at this was to return None for a non
LFS file, and a (pointer, ctx) tuple to hold the pointer and context (or parent
pointer and context for a removed file). But this complicated the callers, even
the ones that didn't care about removed files.
Instead, let's use {} to represent a removed pointer. This has the added
convenience of being a useful representation in the template language, and only
affects the callers that care about removed files (and only slightly). Since
pointers are explicitly serialized with a call to a member function, there is no
danger of writing these to disk.
$ hg init
$ echo 123 > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m "first" a
$ mkdir sub
$ echo 321 > sub/b
$ hg add sub/b
$ hg commit -m "second" sub/b
$ cat sub/b
321
$ hg co 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cat sub/b 2>/dev/null || echo "sub/b not present"
sub/b not present
$ test -d sub || echo "sub not present"
sub not present
