tests: add test-remotefilelog-strip.t to demonstrate an issue with linknodes
### Background
Every time a commit is modified, remotefilelog updates the metadata for the file
object to point to the new commit (I believe that this is different from
non-remotefilelog hg, which leaves the linkrevs pointing to the obsolete
commits; doing otherwise would involve changing data in the middle of revlogs).
With `hg strip` (or other things that use repair.strip()), when you strip a
commit that's not the tip of the revlog, there may be commits after it in revnum
order that aren't descended from it and don't need to be (and shouldn't be)
stripped. These are "saved" by strip in a bundle, and that bundle is reapplied
after truncating the relevant revlogs.
### The problem
Remotefilelog generally avoids being involved at all in strip. Currently, that
includes even providing file contents to this backup bundle. This can cause the
linknode to point to a changeset that is no longer in the repository.
Example:
```
@ 3
df91f74b871e
|
| x 2
70494d7ec5ef
|/
| x 1
1e423846dde0
|/
o 0
b292c1e3311f
```
Commits 1, 2, and 3 are related via obsolescence, and are description-only
changes. The linknode for the file in these commits changed each time we updated
the description, so it's currently df91f7. If I strip commits 1 and 3, however,
the linknode *remains* df91f7, which no longer exists in the repository. Commit
70494d was "saved", stripped, and then reapplied, so it is in the repository (as
revision 1 instead of 2 now), and was unobsoleted since the obsmarker was
stripped as well. The linknode for the file should point to 70494d, the most
recent commit that is in the repository that modified the file.
Remotefilelog has some logic to handle broken linknodes, but it can be slow. We
have actually disabled it internally because it's too slow for our purposes.

refactor: prefer checks against nullrev over nullid
A common pattern is using a changeset context and obtaining the node to
compare against nullid. Change this to obtain the nullrev instead. In
the future, the nullid becomes a property of the repository and is no
longer a global constant, so using nullrev is much easier to reason
about. Python function call overhead makes the difference moot, but
future changes will result in more dictionary lookups otherwise, so
prefer the simpler pattern.

refactor: prefer lookup by revision, even for null
While the nullid lookup is a special case, it is still more complicated.
The common pattern is to lookup via nullrev so be consistent here.

setdiscovery: simplify by using tiprev directly
tip() uses tiprev() and reads the node from it, so drop a layer of

tests: update divergence test for `hg fix` to actually result in divergence
We have a test that checks that `hg fix` errors out if it might cause
divergence. However, the test simply prunes the commit it then tries
to fix, so fixing it wouldn't actually cause divergence. That works
because the implementation is simple enough that it doesn't notice the
difference. I'm about to make the implementation smarter, so let's fix
the test first.

rebase: don't call rewriteutil.precheck() with to-be-skipped commits
It's clearly incorrect to call `rewriteutil.precheck()` for commits
that we're not about to rewrite. We haven't noticed yet because the
function doesn't check for divergence, but I'm about to teach it to do
that.
