git: initialize `extra` to have at least the branch name for nullid Otherwise, this crashes trying to convert to local encoding: ...

git: consistently use str for parents when rebuilding the index database The tests show no changes, but when these values are overwritten shortly after when a git commit object is available, that uses str. It seems better to use that for consistency. It does materially affect the database though, because the old value stored was `X'3030..3030'` and is now '00..00' when the changelog table is dumped in sqlite3. There is one query that specifies the parents, but it passes the non null hashes as str, so it worked as expected. That likely explains the lack of test changes.

git: pass the correct type to the sqlite3 query for baselog.hasnode() It looks like this function is mostly used in exchange (which isn't supported now) and histedit (which crashes). But I did verify in a REPL that passing bytes to `db.execute()` fails to find the row, whereas passing str works. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10526
