refactor: prefer checks against nullrev over nullid

A common pattern is using a changeset context and obtaining the node to
compare against nullid. Change this to obtain the nullrev instead. In
the future, the nullid becomes a property of the repository and is no
longer a global constant, so using nullrev is much easier to reason
about. Python function call overhead makes the difference moot, but
future changes will result in more dictionary lookups otherwise, so
prefer the simpler pattern.

"""erase file content at a given revision

The censor command instructs Mercurial to erase all content of a file at a given
revision *without updating the changeset hash.* This allows existing history to
remain valid while preventing future clones/pulls from receiving the erased
data.

Typical uses for censor are due to security or legal requirements, including::

 * Passwords, private keys, cryptographic material
 * Licensed data/code/libraries for which the license has expired
 * Personally Identifiable Information or other private data

Censored nodes can interrupt mercurial's typical operation whenever the excised
data needs to be materialized. Some commands, like ``hg cat``/``hg revert``,
simply fail when asked to produce censored data. Others, like ``hg verify`` and
``hg update``, must be capable of tolerating censored data to continue to
function in a meaningful way. Such commands only tolerate censored file
revisions if they are allowed by the "censor.policy=ignore" config option.

A few informative commands such as ``hg grep`` will unconditionally
ignore censored data and merely report that it was encountered.
