memctx: allow the metadataonlyctx thats reusing the manifest node

When we have a lot of files writing a new manifest revision can be expensive.
This commit adds a possibility for memctx to reuse a manifest from a different
commit. This can be beneficial for commands that are creating metadata changes
without any actual files changed like "hg metaedit" in evolve extension.

I will send the change for evolve that leverages this once this is accepted.

  $ rm -rf a
  $ hg init a

  adding a
  $ hg tag t1 # 1
  $ hg tag --remove t1 # 2

  $ hg co 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg tag -f -r0 t1
  $ hg tags
