mergestate: determine if active without looking for state files on disk I couldn't think of a reason that we need to check state files on disk to determine if a merge is active. I could imagine them being for there for detecting broken state files that would then be cleaned up by some later command, but we always delete the entire `.hg/merge/` tree, so that doesn't seem to be it. The checks were added in 4e932dc5c113 (resolve: abort when not applicable (BC), 2014-04-18). Perhaps there were needed for that and then made obsolete by 6062593d8b06 (resolve: don't abort resolve -l even when no merge is in progress, 2014-05-23). The reason I want to delete the checks is that I think `ms = mergestate.read(repo); ms.active() and ms.local` should be a valid pattern, but it crashes when the merge state file is an empty file if we consider mere presence of the file as "active".
