dirstateguard: use mktemp-like functionality to generate the backup filenames Previously these were generated with names like: `dirstate.backup.commit.<memory address of dirstateguard>` This could cause problems if two hg commands ran at the same time that used the same memory address, (which is apparently not uncommon if chg is involved), as memory addresses are not unique across processes. This issue was reported in the post-review comments on http://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9952. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10504

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
