dirstate: do not write an empty dirstate just for backup This will get in the way when we get more strict about holding the lock when writing the dirstate. Instead, we simply don't copy dirstate files around if there are None at backup time. A couple of tests are impacted they no longer need to backup such "empty" dirstate.

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).
