dirstate: rename forget to drop

It has substantially different semantics from forget at the command
layer, so change it to avoid confusion.

We can't simply combine it with remove because we need to explicitly
drop non-added files in some cases like commit.

Synopsis
--------
**hg** *command* [*option*]... [*argument*]...

Description
-----------
The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial
system.

Command Elements
----------------

files...
    indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see
    `File Name Patterns`_ for information on pattern matching

path
    indicates a path on the local machine

revision
    indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset
    revision number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset
    hash value

Files
-----

``.hgignore``
    This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
    describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
    see |hgignore(5)|_.

``.hgtags``
    This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
    of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
    the repository contents.

``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
    This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
    ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
    settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
    See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
    files.

Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.

Bugs
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
