I would expect `Commit::is_empty()` to check if the commit is empty in
our usual sense, i.e. that there are no changes compared to the
auto-merged parents. However, it would return `false` for any merge
commit (and for the root commit). Since we only use it in one place,
let's inline it there. The use there does seem reasonable, because
it's about abandoning an "uninteresting" working-copy commit.
Let's acknowledge everyone's contributions by replacing "Google LLC"
in the copyright header by "The Jujutsu Authors". If I understand
correctly, it won't have any legal effect, but maybe it still helps
reduce concerns from contributors (though I haven't heard any
concerns).

I feel it doesn't make sense for a simple getter function to create an
owned vec after 0108673087 "backend: let each backend handle root commit
on write."
This moves the logic for handling the root commit when writing commits
from `CommitBuilder` into the individual backends. It always bothered
me a bit that the `commit::Commit` wrapper had a different idea of the
number of parents than the wrapped `backend::Commit` had.
With this change, the `LocalBackend` will now write the root commit in
the list of parents if it's there in the argument to
`write_commit()`. Note that root commit itself won't be written. The
main argument for not writing it is that we can then keep the fake
all-zeros hash for it. One argument for writing it, if we were to do
so, is that it would make the set of written objects consistent, so
any future processing of them (such as GC) doesn't have to know to
ignore the root commit in the list of parents.
We still treat the two backends the same, so the user won't be allowed
to create merges including the root commit even when using the
`LocalBackend`.
When you run e.g. `jj describe <some old commit>` or `jj squash -r
<some old commit>`, the descendants' tree objects will not change, so
we can avoid calculating them. This speeds up rebasing of 126 commits
in the git.git repo from ~9.8 s to ~3.6 s.
We currently recalculate the entire evolution state whenever a new
commit is added within a transaction. That's clearly wasteful. This
commit makes the state-update incremental.
