simplemerge: add 'mode' kwarg which - when 'union' - suppresses markers

This is a step toward adding 'union merge' to the internal merge tool.

'union merge' is a merge strategy which adds both left and right hand side
of a conflict region.  Git implements this merge strategy which is very
practical to have for merging to e.g. the Changelog file.

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.
