transaction: handle missing file in backupentries (instead of using entries)

The case where a backup of a missing file was requested was previously
handled by the 'entries' list. As the 'backupentries' is about to gain
ability to backup files outside of '.hg/store', we want it to be able
to handle the missing file too.

Reminder: using 'addbackup' on a missing file means that such file needs to be
deleted if we rollback the transaction.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
