largefiles: put whole "hgmerge" process into the same "wlock" scope

Before this patch, there are two distinct "wlock" scopes below in
"hgmerge":

  1. "merge.update" via original "hg.merge" function
  2. "updatelfiles" specific "wlock" scope (to synchronize largefile
     dirstate)

But these should be executed in the same "wlock" scope for
consistency, because users of "hg.merge" don't get "wlock" explicitly
before invocation of it.

  - merge in commands

This patch puts almost all of the original "hgmerge" implementation into
"_hgmerge" to reduce changes.

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:
