sidedatacopies: only store an entry if it has values

This will make for a shorter storage and help use to write faster code in simple
case. This change already provided a speed boost for copy tracing.

For example here is combined time of running copies tracing on a 6989 pairs of
revision on the pypy repos:

before: 771s
after:  631s - 18%

This also has a very positive impact on changelog size. For example here are the
number for the `00changelog.d` file of pypy.

before: 30449712 Bytes
after:  24973718 Bytes - 18%

This give an overall quite acceptable overhead for storing copies into the
changelog:

filelog-only: 23370586
sidedata:     24973718 Bytes + 7%
