package loaders: write extrinsic metadata to directories instead of revisions.

vlorentz requested to merge generated-differential-D4346-source into generated-differential-D4346-target

They are more useful on directories, as directory ids are more intrinsic than synthetic revision ids. And this adds the revision swhid in the context, so the revision relationship is still available when it's useful (eg. because the same directory can be referenced from multiple revisions).

Note that package loaders still write the original_artifacts dict to the revision.

Part of the solution for T2668
