resolve: use "other" changeset from merge state (issue4163)

We can use the "other" data from the recorded merge state instead of inferring
what the other could be from working copy parent. This will allow resolve to
fulfil its duty even when the second parent have been dropped.

Most direct benefit is fixing a regression in backout.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
