atomictempfile: avoid infinite recursion in __del__().

The problem is that a programmer using atomictempfile directly can
make an innocent everyday mistake -- not enough args to the
constructor -- which escalates badly.  You would expect a simple
TypeError crash in that case, but you actually get an infinite
recursion that is surprisingly difficult to kill: it happens between
__del__() and __getattr__(), and Python does not handle infinite
recursion from __del__() well.

The fix is to not implement __getattr__(), but instead assign instance
attributes for the methods we wish to delegate to the builtin file
type: write() and fileno(). I've audited mercurial.* and hgext.* and
found no users of atomictempfile using methods other than write() and
rename(). I audited third-party extensions and found one (snap)
passing an atomictempfile to util.fstat(), so I also threw in
fileno().

The last time I submitted a similar patch, Matt proposed that we make
atomictempfile a subclass of file instead of wrapping it. Rejected on
grounds of unnecessary complexity: for one thing, it would make the
Windows implementation of posixfile quite a bit more complex. It would
have to become a subclass of file rather than a simple function -- but
since it's written in C, this is non-obvious and non-trivial.
Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with wrapping objects and
delegating methods: it's a well-established pattern that works just
fine in many cases. Subclassing is not the answer to all of life's
problems.

Preparing the subrepository 'sub'

  $ hg init sub
  $ echo sub > sub/sub
  $ hg add -R sub
  adding sub/sub
  $ hg commit -R sub -m "sub import"

Preparing the 'main' repo which depends on the subrepo 'sub'

  $ hg init main
  $ echo main > main/main
  $ echo "sub = ../sub" > main/.hgsub
  $ hg clone sub main/sub
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg add -R main
  adding main/.hgsub
  adding main/main
  $ hg commit -R main -m "main import"
  committing subrepository sub

Cleaning both repositories, just as a clone -U

  $ hg up -C -R sub null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg up -C -R main null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 3 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ rm -rf main/sub

Serving them both using hgweb

  $ printf '[paths]\n/main = main\nsub = sub\n' > webdir.conf
  $ hg serve --webdir-conf webdir.conf -a localhost -p $HGPORT \
  >    -A /dev/null -E /dev/null --pid-file hg.pid -d
  $ cat hg.pid >> $DAEMON_PIDS

Clone main from hgweb

  $ hg clone "http://localhost:$HGPORT/main" cloned
