obsolete: add a high level function to create an obsolete marker

This function is designed to be used by all code that creates new
obsolete markers in the local repository.

It is not used by debugobsolete because debugobsolete allows the
use of an unknown hash as argument.

Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""
