dirstate: drop some very fishy looking piece of code

This piece of code is marking the **real** dirstate file as a temporary
transaction file. This means it get deleted on transaction rollback.

This this quite wrong, especially as the comment points out some
`dirstate.pending` motivation and the `.pending` file should already be fully
managed by the transaction.

The only ready I can think of this behavior not having awful results right now
is because other transaction logic restore backed up content above the one that
got wrongfully deleted.

Let us stop doing this anyway, All tests seems happy.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
