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".

Checking the size/permissions/file-type of files stored in the
dirstate after an update where the files are changed concurrently
outside of hg's control.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg commit -qAm _
  $ echo aa > a
  $ hg commit -m _

  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          3 (set  |unset)               a (re)

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py << EOF
  > from mercurial import (
  >     extensions,
  >     merge,
  > )
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(merge, 'applyupdates', wrap)
  > def wrap(orig, *args, **kwargs):
  >     res = orig(*args, **kwargs)
  >     with open("a", "w"):
  >         pass # just truncate the file
  >     return res
  > EOF

Do an update where file 'a' is changed between hg writing it to disk
and hg writing the dirstate. The dirstate is correct nonetheless, and
so hg status correctly shows a as clean.

  $ hg up -r 0 --config extensions.race=$TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          2 (set  |unset)               a (re)
  $ echo a > a; hg status; hg diff
