evolve: merge commit messages while resolving content-divergence (issue5877)

While resolving content-divergence, there can be divergence in commit messages
too which should be resolved.

This patch uses the hg's internal merge API's to merge commit messages of
divergent changesets with predecessor as the base.

In case of conflicts, we fallback to divergent's commit message which should be
changed in future. We should pop up the editor with the commit message and the
conflict markers and let user fix that.

Tests are added for the functionality added.

Doc is generated with sphinx.

You can generate the doc with:

```
make
```

# Tutorials

For updating the tutorials, you need to have the docgraph extension installed
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg-docgraph).

Then run the test-topic-tutorial.t and test-tutorial.t to update the output if
needed.

You'll need the dot binary (likely installed by the graphviz package in your
package manager) in order to have graphviz graphs rendered in the html output.

Simply run make in the docs directory should takes care of the conversion of
the tutorial .t files into .rst files. Then sphinx should do the rest of the
jobs by rendering graphviz graphs.
