split: close transaction in the unlikely event of a conflict while rebasing

`hg split` *should* never result in conflicts, but in case there are
bugs, we should at least commit the transaction so they can continue
the rebase. One of our users ran into the regression fixed by
D10120. They fixed the conflict and the tried to continue the rebase,
but it failed with "abort: cannot continue inconsistent rebase"
because the rebase state referred to commits written in a transaction
that was never committed.

Side note: `hg split` should probably turn off copy tracing to reduce
the impact of such bugs, and to speed it up as well. Copies made in
the rebased commits should still be respected because `hg rebase`
calls `copies.graftcopies()`.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10164

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
