filemerge: add support for partial conflict resolution by external tool
A common class of merge conflicts is in imports/#includes/etc. It's
relatively easy to write a tool that can resolve these conflicts,
perhaps by naively just unioning the statements and leaving any
cleanup to other tools to do later [1]. Such specialized tools cannot
generally resolve all conflicts in a file, of course. Let's therefore
call them "partial merge tools". Note that the internal simplemerge
algorithm is such a partial merge tool - one that only resolves
trivial "conflicts" where one side is unchanged or both sides change
in the same way.
One can also imagine having smarter language-aware partial tools that
merge the AST. It may be useful for such tools to interactively let
the user resolve any conflicts it can't resolve itself. However,
having the option of implementing it as a partial merge tool means
that the developer doesn't *need* to create a UI for it. Instead, the
user can resolve any remaining conflicts with their regular merge tool
(e.g. `:merge3` or `meld).
We don't currently have a way to let the user define such partial
merge tools. That's what this patch addresses. It lets the user
configure partial merge tools to run. Each tool can be configured to
run only on files matching certain patterns (e.g. "*.py"). The tool
takes three inputs (local, base, other) and resolves conflicts by
updating these in place. For example, let's say the inputs are these:
base:
```
import sys
def main():
print('Hello')
```
local:
```
import os
import sys
def main():
print('Hi')
```
other:
```
import re
import sys
def main():
print('Howdy')
```
A partial merge tool could now resolve the conflicting imports by
replacing the import statements in *all* files by the following
snippet, while leaving the remainder of the files unchanged.
```
import os
import re
import sys
```
As a result, simplemerge and any regular merge tool that runs after
the partial merge tool(s) will consider the imports to be
non-conflicting and will only present the conflict in `main()` to the
user.

#testcases skip-detection fail-if-detected
Test situations that "should" only be reproducible:
- on networked filesystems, or
- user using `hg debuglocks` to eliminate the lock file, or
- something (that doesn't respect the lock file) writing to the .hg directory
while we're running
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ cat > "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh" <<EOF
> [ -n "\${WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE:-}" ] && touch "\${WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE}"
> f="\${WAITLOCK_FILE}"
> start=\`date +%s\`
> timeout=5
> $RUNTESTDIR/testlib/wait-on-file "\$timeout" "\$f"
> if [ \$# -gt 1 ]; then
> cat "\$@"
> fi
> EOF
Things behave differently if we don't already have a 00changelog.i file when
this all starts, so let's make one.
$ echo r0 > r0
$ hg commit -qAm 'r0'
Start an hg commit that will take a while
$ EDITOR_STARTED="$(pwd)/.editor_started"
$ MISCHIEF_MANAGED="$(pwd)/.mischief_managed"
$ JOBS_FINISHED="$(pwd)/.jobs_finished"
#if fail-if-detected
$ cat >> .hg/hgrc << EOF
> [debug]
> revlog.verifyposition.changelog = fail
> EOF
#endif
$ echo foo > foo
$ (WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE="${EDITOR_STARTED}" \
> WAITLOCK_FILE="${MISCHIEF_MANAGED}" \
> HGEDITOR="sh $TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh" \
> hg commit -qAm 'r1 (foo)' --edit foo > .foo_commit_out 2>&1 ; touch "${JOBS_FINISHED}") &
Wait for the "editor" to actually start
$ WAITLOCK_FILE="${EDITOR_STARTED}" sh "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh"
Break the locks, and make another commit.
$ hg debuglocks -LW
$ echo bar > bar
$ hg commit -qAm 'r2 (bar)' bar
$ hg debugrevlogindex -c
rev linkrev nodeid p1 p2

1 1 6f124f6007a0 222799e2f90b 000000000000
Awaken the editor from that first commit
$ touch "${MISCHIEF_MANAGED}"
And wait for it to finish
$ WAITLOCK_FILE="${JOBS_FINISHED}" sh "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh"
#if skip-detection
(Ensure there was no output)
$ cat .foo_commit_out
And observe a corrupted repository -- rev 2's linkrev is 1, which should never
happen for the changelog (the linkrev should always refer to itself).
$ hg debugrevlogindex -c
rev linkrev nodeid p1 p2
0 0 222799e2f90b 000000000000 000000000000

#endif
#if fail-if-detected
$ cat .foo_commit_out
transaction abort!
rollback completed
note: commit message saved in .hg/last-message.txt
note: use 'hg commit --logfile .hg/last-message.txt --edit' to reuse it
abort: 00changelog.i: file cursor at position 249, expected 121
And no corruption in the changelog.
$ hg debugrevlogindex -c
rev linkrev nodeid p1 p2
0 0 222799e2f90b 000000000000 000000000000
1 1 6f124f6007a0 222799e2f90b 000000000000 (missing-correct-output !)
And, because of transactions, there's none in the manifestlog either.
$ hg debugrevlogindex -m
