dirstate: move most of the `remove` logic with dirstatemap `removefile`

This code deal with special logic to preserving "merged" and "from_p2" information when removing a file. These are implementation details that are more suitable for the dirstatemap layer. Since the dirstatemap layer alreaday have most of the information necessary to do so, the move is easy.

This move helps us to encapsulate more implementation details within the dirstatemap and its entry. Easing the use of a different storage for dirstate v2.

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.
