hgtagsfnodescache: handle nullid lookup

The null revision is empty, so it `.hgtags` content is `nullid` in regards with
the `hgtagsfnodescache`. Dealing with `nullid` will help with the next
changeset. Before this change, feeding `nullid` to `hgtagsfnodescache.getfnode` would
return a wrong result (fnode for tip).

 # Tags computation can be expensive and caches exist to make it fast in
 # the common case.
 #
 # The "hgtagsfnodes1" cache file caches the .hgtags filenode values for
 # each revision in the repository. The file is effectively an array of
 # fixed length records. Read the docs for "hgtagsfnodescache" for technical
 # details.
 #
 # The .hgtags filenode cache grows in proportion to the length of the
 # changelog. The file is truncated when the # changelog is stripped.
 #
 # The purpose of the filenode cache is to avoid the most expensive part
 # of finding global tags, which is looking up the .hgtags filenode in the
 # manifest for each head. This can take dozens or over 100ms for
 # repositories with very large manifests. Multiplied by dozens or even
 # hundreds of heads and there is a significant performance concern.
 #
 # There also exist a separate cache file for each repository filter.
 # These "tags-*" files store information about the history of tags.
 #
 # The tags cache files consists of a cache validation line followed by
 # a history of tags.
 #
 # The cache validation line has the format:
 #
 #   <tiprev> <tipnode> [<filteredhash>]
 #
 # <tiprev> is an integer revision and <tipnode> is a 40 character hex
 # node for that changeset. These redundantly identify the repository
 # tip from the time the cache was written. In addition, <filteredhash>,
 # if present, is a 40 character hex hash of the contents of the filtered
 # revisions for this filter. If the set of filtered revs changes, the
 # hash will change and invalidate the cache.
 #
 # The history part of the tags cache consists of lines of the form:
 #
 #   <node> <tag>
 #
 # (This format is identical to that of .hgtags files.)
 #
 # <tag> is the tag name and <node> is the 40 character hex changeset
 # the tag is associated with.
 #
 # Tags are written sorted by tag name.
 #
 # Tags associated with multiple changesets have an entry for each changeset.
 # The most recent changeset (in terms of revlog ordering for the head
 # setting it) for each tag is last.

     the node hash and the 20 bytes .hgtags filenode for that revision.
 
     The first 4 bytes are present as a form of verification. Repository
     stripping and rewriting may change the node at a numeric revision in the
     changelog. The changeset fragment serves as a verifier to detect
     rewriting. This logic is shared with the rev branch cache (see
     branchmap.py).
 
     The instance holds in memory the full cache content but entries are
     only parsed on read.

     changeset node. Missing indexes are populated automatically on access.
