dirstate-guard: remove the feature

The dirstate guard duplicated some of the logic already implemented in the
transaction (and now the changing_* context).

However the feature was incomplete, for example, living only in memory meant we
could not recover from the hardest crash. In addition this duplicated with the
transaction logic meant things could go out of sync or step on each other.

Removing the feature now that we no longer needs it seems the safest.

Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.

Make an empty repo:

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  [1]
  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):


  $ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true

  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):

  $ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null

  $ hg files -r .
