dirstate: introduce an internal `_drop` method

We want to split current user of `dirstate.drop` between `hg rm`-like cases and
update of the dirstate coming from update/merge.

To do this we will introduce new API. The first step is to introduces an
internal function that these new API migh use (or not use) to distinct between
the migrated users and the others.

A script that implements uppercasing all letters in a file.

  $ UPPERCASEPY="$TESTTMP/uppercase.py"
  $ cat > $UPPERCASEPY <<EOF
  > import sys
  > from mercurial.utils.procutil import setbinary
  > setbinary(sys.stdin)
  > setbinary(sys.stdout)
  > sys.stdout.write(sys.stdin.read().upper())
  > EOF
  $ TESTLINES="foo\nbar\nbaz\n"
  $ printf $TESTLINES | "$PYTHON" $UPPERCASEPY
  FOO
  BAR
  BAZ

This file attempts to test our workarounds for pickle's lack of
support for short reads.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > fix =
  > [fix]
  > uppercase-whole-file:command="$PYTHON" $UPPERCASEPY
  > uppercase-whole-file:pattern=set:**
  > EOF

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo

# Create a file that's large enough that it seems to not fit in
# pickle's buffer, making it use the code path that expects our
# _blockingreader's read() method to return bytes.
  $ echo "some stuff" > file
  $ for i in $($TESTDIR/seq.py 13); do
  >   cat file file > tmp
  >   mv -f tmp file
  > done
  $ hg commit -Am "add large file"
  adding file

Check that we don't get a crash

  $ hg fix -r .
