lfs: allow a pointer to be extracted from a context that removes the file This is needed to let 'set:lfs()' and '{lfs_files}' work normally on removed files. Yuya suggested returning a null pointer for removed files, instead of the pointer from the parent. The first attempt at this was to return None for a non LFS file, and a (pointer, ctx) tuple to hold the pointer and context (or parent pointer and context for a removed file). But this complicated the callers, even the ones that didn't care about removed files. Instead, let's use {} to represent a removed pointer. This has the added convenience of being a useful representation in the template language, and only affects the callers that care about removed files (and only slightly). Since pointers are explicitly serialized with a call to a member function, there is no danger of writing these to disk.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
