config: add option to control creation of empty successors during rewrite

The default for many history-rewriting commands (e.g. rebase and absorb) is
that changesets which would become empty are not created in the target branch.
This makes sense if the source branch consists of small fix-up changes. For
more advanced workflows that make heavy use of history-editing to create
curated patch series, dropping empty changesets is not as important or even
undesirable.

Some users want to keep the meta-history, e.g. to make finding comments in a
code review tool easier or to avoid that divergent bookmarks are created. For
that, obsmarkers from the (to-be) empty changeset to the changeset(s) that
already made the changes should be added. If a to-be empty changeset is pruned
without a successor, adding the obsmarkers is hard because the changeset has to
be found within the hidden part of the history.

If rebasing in TortoiseHg, it’s easy to miss the fact that the to-be empty
changeset was pruned. An empty changeset will function as a reminder that
obsmarkers should be added.

Martin von Zweigbergk mentioned another advantage. Stripping the successor will
de-obsolete the predecessor. If no (empty) successor is created, this won’t be
possible.

In the future, we may want to consider other behaviors, like e.g. creating the
empty successor, but pruning it right away. Therefore this configuration
accepts 'skip' and 'keep' instead of being a boolean configuration.

This test doesn't yet work due to the way fsmonitor is integrated with test runner

  $ exit 80

test sparse interaction with other extensions

  $ hg init myrepo
  $ cd myrepo
  $ cat > .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sparse=
  > strip=
  > EOF

Test fsmonitor integration (if available)
TODO: make fully isolated integration test a'la https://github.com/facebook/watchman/blob/master/tests/integration/WatchmanInstance.py
(this one is using the systemwide watchman instance)

  $ touch .watchmanconfig
  $ echo "ignoredir1/" >> .hgignore
  $ hg commit -Am ignoredir1
  adding .hgignore
  $ echo "ignoredir2/" >> .hgignore
  $ hg commit -m ignoredir2

  $ hg sparse --reset
  $ hg sparse -I ignoredir1 -I ignoredir2 -I dir1

  $ mkdir ignoredir1 ignoredir2 dir1
  $ touch ignoredir1/file ignoredir2/file dir1/file

Run status twice to compensate for a condition in fsmonitor where it will check
ignored files the second time it runs, regardless of previous state (ask @sid0)
  $ hg status --config extensions.fsmonitor=
  ? dir1/file
  $ hg status --config extensions.fsmonitor=
  ? dir1/file

Test that fsmonitor ignore hash check updates when .hgignore changes

  $ hg up -q ".^"
  $ hg status --config extensions.fsmonitor=
  ? dir1/file
  ? ignoredir2/file
