absorb: preserve branch-changing changesets even if empty

This makes the behavior consistent with 'hg commit', which allows to create
otherwise empty changesets if the branch changes compared to the parent. A
branch change can denote important information, so it should be preserved.

     convert ctx in the stack to fctx, for possible mutable fctxs. the first item
     of the list would be outside the stack and should be considered immutable.
