evolve: improve error messages when conflicts occur

This patch improves the error messages when conflicts occur.

First, we drop the line 'evolution failed', that is not the best line we can
show and evolution didn't failed, it's just interrupted by the conflicts and
when user will run `hg evolve --continue`, things will be fine. I still remember
when I first saw 'evolution failed', I got a bit scare as am I in a recoverable
position or not. So let's drop this scary line.

Second, we replace the error messages to say `resolve conflicts and see
help-topic`. The help topic was added recently and documents all the three flags
very well. Addition of tests also showed that all the three flags works fine
with all the three instability type. So we should advertise them more.

Third, we now raise the error with our error message rather than raising
MergeFailure and having evolution related text in hint or stderr above. This
increase the focus on the error message we want to show.

After this patch, I think error messages by evolve in case of conflicts will be
same in every case.

====================================
Testing head checking code: Case A-3
====================================

Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.

This case is part of a series of tests checking this behavior.

Category A: simple case involving a branch being superceeded by another.
TestCase 3: multi-changeset branch with reordering

Push should be allowed
.. old-state:
..
.. * 2 changeset branch
..
.. new-state:
..
.. * 2 changeset branch succeeding the old one with reordering
..
.. expected-result:
..
.. * push allowed
..
