undo-files: clean existing files up before writing new one the in the initial design of journal/undo interaction, ages ago, new file always overwrote previous files. This is no longer the case for a long while, so it is time to properly clean things up before writing new ones. Otherwise, inconsistent "undo" state might exist on disk, leading `hg rollback` to misbehave (more that intended).

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

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).
