mergestate: introduce a new ACTION_KEEP_NEW `ACTION_KEEP` is overloaded and it's hard to figure out how we end up with this KEEP, what was the state of things. In a previous patch, we introduced `ACTION_KEEP_ABSENT` which represents files which are kept absent in the working directory. There is another special case where we keep the file when it's not present on both ancestor and remote side. We introduce a dedicated action for that. The goal is to use these information to make bid merge smarter. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9002

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
