manifest: add some documentation to _lazymanifest python code

It was not particularly easy figuring out the design of this class and keeping
track of how the pieces work.  So might as well write some of it down for the
next person.

class dirstateguard(util.transactional):
    '''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()``.
