commit: add ui.allowemptycommit config option

This adds a config flag that enables a user to make empty commits.
This is useful in a number of cases.

For instance, automation that creates release branches via
bookmarks may want to make empty commits to that release bookmark so that it
can't be fast-forwarded and so it can record information about the release
bookmark's creation. This is already possible with named branches, so making it
possible for bookmarks makes sense.

Another case we've wanted it is for mirroring repositories into Mercurial. We
have automation that syncs commits into hg by running things from the command
line. The ability to produce empty commits is useful for syncing unusual commits
from other VCS's.

In general, allowing the user to create the DAG as they see fit seems useful,
and when I mentioned this in IRC more than one person piped up and said they
were already hacking around this limitation by using mq, import, and
commit-dummy-change-then-amend-the-content-away style solutions.

  hg qrefresh [-I] [-X] [-e] [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] [-s] [FILE]...
  
  update the current patch
  
      If any file patterns are provided, the refreshed patch will contain only
      the modifications that match those patterns; the remaining modifications
      will remain in the working directory.
  
      If -s/--short is specified, files currently included in the patch will be
      refreshed just like matched files and remain in the patch.
  
      If -e/--edit is specified, Mercurial will start your configured editor for
      you to enter a message. In case qrefresh fails, you will find a backup of
      your message in ".hg/last-message.txt".
  
      hg add/remove/copy/rename work as usual, though you might want to use git-
      style patches (-g/--git or [diff] git=1) to track copies and renames. See
      the diffs help topic for more information on the git diff format.
