branchcache: skip entries that are topological heads in the on disk file
In the majority of cases, topological heads are also branch heads. We have
efficient way to get the topological heads and efficient way to retrieve
their branch information. So there is little value in putting them in the branch
cache file explicitly. On the contrary, writing them explicitly tend to create
very large cache file that are inefficient to read and update.
So the branch cache v3 format is no longer including them. This changeset focus
on the format aspect and have no focus on the performance aspect. We will cover
that later.

# we need to start out with two changesets on the default branch
# in order to avoid the cute little optimization where transplant
# pulls rather than transplants
add initial changesets

$ hg ci -Am"feature 1"
adding file1
$ echo feature2 >> file2
$ hg ci -Am"feature 2"
adding file2
# The changes to 'bugfix' are enough to show the bug: in fact, with only
# those changes, it's a very noisy crash ("RuntimeError: nothing
# committed after transplant"). But if we modify a second file in the
# transplanted changesets, the bug is much more subtle: transplant
# silently drops the second change to 'bugfix' on the floor, and we only
# see it when we run 'hg status' after transplanting. Subtle data loss
# bugs are worse than crashes, so reproduce the subtle case here.
