test: explicitly "add" file before some commit in test-rollback.t

`hg commit -A` will revert the `hg addremove` step if the commit fails. However
`hg rollback` currently does not.

We are about to improve internal consistency around transaction and dirstate and the behavior of `hg rollback` will align on the other behavior in the process.

Before doing so, we make sure the test is using a separate call to `hg add` to
avoid the test scenario to be affected by that future change.

note: the behavior change for `hg rollback` seems fine as it affect a niche
usecase and `hg rollback` usage have been strongly discouraged for a while.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
