Previously, patch(element, vnode) would create a new element every time
for the top-level element, unless the top-level vnode had no id and
className. This is because emptyNodeAt() would create a vnode with sel
equal to the element's tagName, NOT including id and className.
This seems to be just a small fix, however this fix was crucial to get
Web Components (custom elements) working with Cycle.js, because the
custom element's "create" callback was being called infinitely and
recursively, because snabbdom was creating the top-level element every
time, even if the sel of oldVNode and vnode were supposed to be the
same.
