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.

Make a narrow clone then archive it
  $ . "$TESTDIR/narrow-library.sh"

  $ hg init master
  $ cd master

  $ for x in `$TESTDIR/seq.py 3`; do
  >   echo $x > "f$x"
  >   hg add "f$x"
  >   hg commit -m "Add $x"
  > done

  $ hg serve -a localhost -p $HGPORT1 -d --pid-file=hg.pid
  $ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"

  $ cd ..
  $ hg clone --narrow --include f1 --include f2 http://localhost:$HGPORT1/ narrowclone1
  requesting all changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 3 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files
  new changesets * (glob)
  updating to branch default
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

The tar should only contain f1 and f2
  $ cd narrowclone1
  $ hg archive -t tgz repo.tgz
  $ tar tfz repo.tgz
  repo/f1
  repo/f2
