Patch: vc-dired-hook -vs- vc-call

[Tom Tromey]

Yesterday I tried vc-dired on a mercurial-managed working directory.
Once it was showing I typed 'v t'.  To my surprise I got an error
trace:

  require(vc-nil)
  vc-find-backend-function(nil dired-state-info)
  vc-call-backend(nil dired-state-info 
"/home/tromey/Mercurial/trunk/libcpp/ChangeLog.rej")
  vc-dired-hook()
  vc-dired-toggle-terse-mode()
  call-interactively(vc-dired-toggle-terse-mode nil nil)

I don't really understand this fully, I'm afraid.  vc-backend returns
nil for this file, because it has 'vc-backend as 'none.  This may be a
bug in vc-hg, I'm not sure; this file is ignored, not unregistered.

Anyway, this patch fixed it for me.  It seemed a bit better to use
vc-responsible-backend here.
