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%

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
