dirstate: add a `set_tracked` method for "hg add"-like usage

This is a step further toward clarifying the semantic of various dirstate call.

Having a dedicated function comes with a couple of benefits:

1) we can move duplicated logic about how to handle the previous state within
the dirstate. Since we are sure this is always called in the same situation, we
can implement that logic once in the dirstate.

2) having a dedicated method for this case unlock also having a dedicated
method for the other case and recording more information at that time. All this
leading having more code within the dirstate and higher level API that are less
error prone.

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.
