branchmap: handle nullrev in setcachedata

906be86990 recently changed to switch from:

  self._rbcrevs[rbcrevidx:rbcrevidx + _rbcrecsize] = rec

to

  pack_into(_rbcrecfmt, self._rbcrevs, rbcrevidx, node, branchidx)

This causes an exception if rbcrevidx is -1 (i.e. the nullrev). The old code
handled this because python handles out of bound sets to arrays gracefully. The
new code throws because the self._rbcrevs buffer isn't long enough to write 8
bytes to.  Normally it would've been resized by the immediately preceding line,
but because the 0 length buffer is greater than the idx (-1) times the size, no
resize happens.

Setting the branch for the nullrev doesn't make sense anyway, so let's skip it.
This was caught by external tests in the Facebook extensions repo, but I've
added a test here that catches the issue.

Put here definitions of blacklists for run-tests.py

Create a file per blacklist. Each file should list the names of tests that you
want to be skipped.
File names are meant to be used as targets for run-tests.py --blacklist
option.
Lines starting with # are ignored. White spaces are stripped.

e.g. if you create a blacklist/example file containing:
 test-hgrc
 # some comment
 test-help
then calling "run-tests.py --blacklist blacklists/example" will exclude
test-hgrc and test-help from the list of tests to run.
