ui: restore behavior to ignore some I/O errors (issue5658)...
ui: restore behavior to ignore some I/O errors (issue5658) e9646ff34d55 and 1bfb9a63b98e refactored ui methods to no longer silently swallow some IOError instances. This is arguably the correct thing to do. However, it had the unfortunate side-effect of causing StdioError to bubble up to sensitive code like transaction aborts, leading to an uncaught exceptions and failures to e.g. roll back a transaction. This could occur when a remote HTTP or SSH client connection dropped. The new behavior is resulting in semi-frequent "abandonded transaction" errors on multiple high-volume repositories at Mozilla. This commit effectively reverts e9646ff34d55 and 1bfb9a63b98e to restore the old behavior. I agree with the principle that I/O errors shouldn't be ignored. That makes this change... unfortunate. However, our hands are tied for what to do on stable. I think the proper solution is for the ui's behavior to be configurable (possibly via a context manager). During critical sections like transaction rollback and abort, it should be possible to suppress errors. But this feature would not be appropriate on stable.

At the construction, this class does:
- write current ``repo.dirstate`` out, and
- save ``.hg/dirstate`` into the backup file
This restores ``.hg/dirstate`` from backup file, if ``release()``
is invoked before ``close()``.
This just removes the backup file at ``close()`` before ``release()``.
