revset: allow rev(-1) to indicate null revision (BC)

This can simplify the conversion from numeric revision to string. Without it,
we have to handle -1 specially because repo['-1'] != repo[-1].

The -1 revision is not officially documented, but this change makes sense
assuming that "rev(%d)" exists for scripting or third-party tools.
