merge: use constants for merge state record types merge.py is using multiple discrete sets of 1 and 2 letter constants to define types and behavior. To the uninitiated, the code is very difficult to reason about. I didn't even realize there were multiple sets of constants in play initially! We begin our sanity injection with merge state records. The record types (which are serialized to disk) are now defined in RECORD_* constants. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2698
