rebase: use one dirstateguard for entire rebase

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.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
