absorb: preserve changesets which were already empty

Most commands in Mercurial (commit, rebase, absorb itself) don’t create empty
changesets or drop them if they become empty. If there’s a changeset that’s
empty, it must be a deliberate choice of the user. At least it shouldn’t be
absorb’s responsibility to prune them. The fact that changesets that became
empty during absorb are pruned, is unaffected by this.

This case was found while writing patches which make it possible to configure
absorb and rebase to not drop empty changesets. Even without having such config
set, I think it’s valuable to preserve changesets which were already empty.

  $ hgcommit() {
  >    hg commit -u user "$@"
  > }

  $ hg init clhead
  $ cd clhead

  $ touch foo && hg add && hgcommit -m 'foo'
  adding foo
  $ touch bar && hg add && hgcommit -m 'bar'
  adding bar
  $ touch baz && hg add && hgcommit -m 'baz'
  adding baz

  $ echo "flub" > foo
  $ hgcommit -m "flub"
  $ echo "nub" > foo
  $ hgcommit -m "nub"

  $ hg up -C 2

  $ echo "c1" > c1
  $ hg add c1
  $ hgcommit -m "c1"
  created new head
  $ echo "c2" > c1
  $ hgcommit -m "c2"

  $ hg up -C 2

  $ echo "d1" > d1
  $ hg add d1
  $ hgcommit -m "d1"
  created new head
  $ echo "d2" > d1
  $ hgcommit -m "d2"
  $ hg tag -l good

fail with three heads
  $ hg up -C good
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg merge
  abort: branch 'default' has 3 heads - please merge with an explicit rev
  (run 'hg heads .' to see heads, specify rev with -r)
  [255]

close one of the heads
  $ hg up -C 6
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hgcommit -m 'close this head' --close-branch

succeed with two open heads
  $ hg up -C good
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg up -C good
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg merge
