rebase: consider rewrite.empty-successor configuration This adds support for the recently added rewrite.empty-successor configuration.

rewriteutil: add utility to check whether empty successors should be skipped

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.

commands: use any() instead of `if a or b or c` Small cleanup for future when we have an option to show configs from shared rc. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8658
