evolve: introduce function to create a obsmarker relation even for public cset To create obsmarkers we use obsolete.createmarkers() function, but because of security reasons this function refuses to create obsmarkers for public cset. And we need to create obsmarkers for a public cset while solving public content divergence. So introducing this function which create a obsmarker relation even for immutable cset. Currently this function create obsmarker for a single relation, in contrast of obsolete.createmarkers() which create markers for multiple relations. Upcoming pathces will be using this function.
