status: simplify the post status fixup phases

With the wlock automatically discarding changes when applicable, we can
simplify the code a bit.

* we perform the fixup operation before trying to grab the lock to narrow the `try/except`

* we no longer need to explicitly complare dirstate identities. We can trust
  the dirstate internal refresh for that. It would invalidate dirty data when
  needed.

* detect still data invalidation by checking the dirty flag before and after
  taking the lock. Doing this is actually only necessary to issue the debug
  message, we could blindy trust the dirstate internal to ignore the `write`
  call on a non-dirty dirstate.

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.
