atomictempfile: avoid infinite recursion in __del__().

The problem is that a programmer using atomictempfile directly can
make an innocent everyday mistake -- not enough args to the
constructor -- which escalates badly.  You would expect a simple
TypeError crash in that case, but you actually get an infinite
recursion that is surprisingly difficult to kill: it happens between
__del__() and __getattr__(), and Python does not handle infinite
recursion from __del__() well.

The fix is to not implement __getattr__(), but instead assign instance
attributes for the methods we wish to delegate to the builtin file
type: write() and fileno(). I've audited mercurial.* and hgext.* and
found no users of atomictempfile using methods other than write() and
rename(). I audited third-party extensions and found one (snap)
passing an atomictempfile to util.fstat(), so I also threw in
fileno().

The last time I submitted a similar patch, Matt proposed that we make
atomictempfile a subclass of file instead of wrapping it. Rejected on
grounds of unnecessary complexity: for one thing, it would make the
Windows implementation of posixfile quite a bit more complex. It would
have to become a subclass of file rather than a simple function -- but
since it's written in C, this is non-obvious and non-trivial.
Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with wrapping objects and
delegating methods: it's a well-established pattern that works just
fine in many cases. Subclassing is not the answer to all of life's
problems.
