dirstate: make dirstate.write() callers pass transaction object to it

Now, 'dirstate.write(tr)' delays writing in-memory changes out, if a
transaction is running.

This may cause treating this revision as "the first bad one" at
bisecting in some cases using external hook process inside transaction
scope, because some external hooks and editor process are still
invoked without HG_PENDING and pending changes aren't visible to them.

'dirstate.write()' callers below in localrepo.py explicitly use 'None'
as 'tr', because they can assume that no transaction is running:

  - just before starting transaction
  - at closing transaction, or
  - at unlocking wlock

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
