docs: add args/returns docs for some cmdutil, context, and registrar functions

When writing my first extension, I found it hard to figure out these functions.
I figured documenting their inputs/outputs would help future authors who
are new to the codebase.

    '''Restore dirstate at unexpected failure.

    At the construction, this class does:

    - write current ``repo.dirstate`` out, and
    - save ``.hg/dirstate`` into the backup file

    This restores ``.hg/dirstate`` from backup file, if ``release()``
    is invoked before ``close()``.

    This just removes the backup file at ``close()`` before ``release()``.
