merge: make internal merge fail cleanly on symlinks

Simplemerge is not symlink aware and will never do the the right thing on
symlinks. It would read the symlink as a file and abort with 'No such file or
directory' on dangling symlinks.

Instead, internal:merge now simply fails to merge symlinks.

#if symlink

internal merge cannot handle symlinks and shouldn't try:

  $ hg update -q -C 1
  $ rm f
  $ ln -s symlink f
  $ hg commit -qm 'f is symlink'
  $ hg merge -r 2 --tool internal:merge
  merging f
  merging f incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
