shelve: always backup shelves instead of deleting them
Instead of being deleted, shelve files are now moved into the .hg/shelve-backup
directory. This is designed similarly to how strip saves backups into
.ht/strip-backup. The goal is to prevent data loss especially when using
unshelve. There are cases in which a user can complete an unshelve but lose
some of the data that was shelved by, for example, resolving merge conflicts
incorrectly. Storing backups will allow the user to recover the data that was
shelved, at the expense of using more disk space over time.
