rebase: use one dirstateguard for when using rebase.singletransaction

This was previously landed as 2519994d25ca but backed out in b63351f6a2 because
it broke hooks mid-rebase and caused conflict resolution data loss in the event
of unexpected exceptions. This new version adds the behavior back but behind a
config flag, since the performance improvement is notable in large repositories.

The old commit message was:

Recently we switched rebases to run the entire rebase inside a single
transaction, which dramatically improved the speed of rebases in repos with
large working copies. Let's also move the dirstate into a single dirstateguard
to get the same benefits. This let's us avoid serializing the dirstate after
each commit.

In a large repo, rebasing 27 commits is sped up by about 20%.

I believe the test changes are because us touching the dirstate gave the
transaction something to actually rollback.
