(vc-branch-part): Return nil if there's no `.'

(vc-default-previous-version): Renamed from vc-previous-version.  New
args BACKEND and FILE.  Return nil for revision numbers without a `.'
(vc-version-diff): Call vc-BACKEND-previous-version.
(vc-steal-lock): Steal lock before composing mail, so that no mail is
sent when the stealing goes wrong.  And we'll actually see the error
in that case now.
(vc-finish-steal): Removed.
