Don't report deleted attributes in __dir__ (GH#10148)

When an attribute is deleted from a Mock, a sentinel is added rather
than just deleting the attribute. This commit checks for such sentinels
when returning the child mocks in the __dir__ method as users won't
expect deleted attributes to appear when performing dir(mock).
