subrepo: avoids empty commit when .hgsubstate is dirty (issue2403)

This patch avoids empty commit when .hgsubstate is dirty. Empty commit
was caused by .hgsubstate being updated back to the state of the
working copy parent when committing, if a user had changed it manually
and not made any changes in subrepositories.

The subrepository state from the working copies parent is compared
with the state calculated as a result of trying to commit the
subrepositories. If the two states are the same, then return None
otherwise the commit is just done.

The line: "committing subrepository x" will be written if there is
nothing committed, but .hgsubstate is dirty for x subrepository.

    Initialize a new repository and working directory that shares its

    .. note::
       using rollback or extensions that destroy/modify history (mq,
       rebase, etc.) can cause considerable confusion with shared
       clones. In particular, if two shared clones are both updated to
       the same changeset, and one of them destroys that changeset
       with rollback, the other clone will suddenly stop working: all
       operations will fail with "abort: working directory has unknown
       parent". The only known workaround is to use debugsetparents on
       the broken clone to reset it to a changeset that still exists
       (e.g. tip).
