commit: use context manager with dirstateguard When I wrote 5ac845ca059a (commit: don't let failed commit with --addremove update dirstate (issue5645), 2017-07-31), Durham's 609606d21765 (rebase: use one dirstateguard for when using rebase.singletransaction, 2017-07-20) had not yet landed, so I had to write it in the old-fashioned way. Now that Durham's patch is in, we can simplify by using a context manager. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D406

commit: move dirstateguard creation out of try-block This is just a simple refactoring to make the next patch simpler. If the dirstateguard constructor raises an exception, the finally-block won't do anything anyway, so this is functionally equivalent (and there is no except-block).

copies: add more details to the documentation of mergecopies() This documentation is very helpful for any developer to understand what copytracing is and what the function does. Since this is the main function of doing copytracing, I have also included bits about copytracing in it. This additions are picked from a doc by Stash@Fb. So thanks to him.

httppeer: add support for httppostargs when we're sending a file This is probably only used in the 'unbundle' command, but the code ended up being cleaner to make it generic and treat *all* httppostargs with a non-args request body as though they were file-like in nature. It also means we get test coverage more or less for free. A previous version of this change didn't use io.BytesIO, and it was a lot more complicated. This also fixes a server-side bug, so anyone using httppostargs should update all of their servers to this revision or later *before* this gets to their clients, otherwise servers will hang trying to over-read the POST body.
