absorb: make it explicit if empty changeset was created

If the config rewrite.empty-successor=skip is set, a message "became empty and
was dropped" is shown if the changeset became empty. If the config
rewrite.empty-successor=keep is set, absorb may create changesets even if they
became empty. It’s probably a good idea to make that explicit. Therefore the
message is changed to be a combination of both: "became empty and became ...".

Repeating the word "became" is not very elegant. This results from the fact
that "became" was and is overloaded to indicate both the change from non-empty
to empty and the successor relation. In the combinated message, both meanings
are used in one sentence.

== New Features ==

 * Windows will process hgrc files in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d.


== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==

 * The `indent()` template function was documented to not indent empty lines,
   but it still indented the first line even if it was empty. It no longer does
   that.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==


== Internal API Changes ==

 * Matcher instances no longer have a `explicitdir` property. Consider
   rewriting your code to use `repo.wvfs.isdir()` and/or
   `ctx.hasdir()` instead. Also, the `traversedir` property is now
   also called when only `explicitdir` used to be called. That may
   mean that you can simply remove the use of `explicitdir` if you
   were already using `traversedir`.

 * The `revlog.nodemap` object have been merged into the `revlog.index` object.
   * `n in revlog.nodemap` becomes `revlog.index.has_node(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap[n]` becomes `revlog.index.rev(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap.get(n)` becomes `revlog.index.get_rev(n)`.

 * `copies.duplicatecopies()` was renamed to
   `copies.graftcopies()`. Its arguments changed from revision numbers
   to context objects. It also lost its `repo` and `skip` arguments
   (they should no longer be needed).
