Mark Thomas 1d4d162882 dirstate: clean up when restoring identical backups
When a dirstate backup is restored, it is possible that no actual changes to
the dirstate have been made.  In this case, the backup is still a hardlink
to the original dirstate.

Unfortunately, `os.rename` silently fails (nothing happens, and no error
occurs) when `src` and `dst` are hardlinks to the same file.  As a result,
the backup is left lying around.  Over time, these files accumulate.

When restoring dirstate backups, check if the backup and the dirstate are
the same file, and if so, just delete the backup.
