dirstate: add a function to update tracking status while "moving" parents

The `scmutil.dirstateparent` is moving the dirstate parent without touching the
working copy. It is used by history-rewriting operations like amending of
folding.

The function was directly doing the "low level" computation and dirstate
change.  All that logic belong to the dirstate and should be moved there.

For this purpose we introduce a new function that does just that and use it.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
