amend: use dirstateguard instead of dirstate.invalidate

Before this patch, "cmdutil.amend()" uses "dirstate.invalidate()" as a
kind of "restore .hg/dirstate to the original status" during a failure.

But it just discards changes in memory, and doesn't actually restore
".hg/dirstate". Then, it can't work as expected, if "dirstate.write()"
is executed while processing.

This patch uses "dirstateguard" instead of "dirstate.invalidate()" to
restore ".hg/dirstate" at failure even if "dirstate.write()" is
executed before failure.

This is a part of preparations to fix the issue that the recent (in
memory) dirstate isn't visible to external process (e.g. "precommit"
hook).

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py
