largefiles: keep largefiles from colliding with normal one during linear merge

Before this patch, linear merging of modified or newly added largefile
causes unexpected result, if (1) largefile collides with same name
normal one in the target revision and (2) "local" largefile is chosen,
even though branch merging between such revisions doesn't.

Expected result of such linear merging is:

  (1) (not yet recorded) largefile is kept in the working directory
  (2) largefile is marked as (re-)"added"
  (3) colliding normal file is marked as "removed"

But actual result is:

  (1) largefile in the working directory is unlinked
  (2) largefile is marked as "normal" (so treated as "missing")
  (3) the dirstate entry for colliding normal file is just dropped

(1) is very serious, because there is no way to restore temporarily
modified largefiles.

(3) prevents the next commit from adding the manifest with correct
"removal of (normal) file" information for newly created changeset.

The root cause of this problem is putting "lfile" into "actions['r']"
in linear-merging case. At liner merging, "actions['r']" causes:

  - unlinking "target file" in the working directory, but "lfile" as
    "target file" is also largefile itself in this case

  - dropping the dirstate entry for target file

"actions['f']" (= "forget") does only the latter, and this is reason
why this patch doesn't choose putting "lfile" into it instead of
"actions['r']".

This patch newly introduces action "lfmr" (LargeFiles: Mark as
Removed) to mark colliding normal file as "removed" without unlinking
it.

This patch uses "hg debugdirstate" instead of "hg status" in test,
because:

  - choosing "local largefile" hides "removed" status of "remote
    normal file" in "hg status" output, and

  - "hg status" for "large2" in this case has another problem fixed in
    the subsequent patch

Create a repository:

  $ hg config
  defaults.backout=-d "0 0"
  defaults.commit=-d "0 0"
  defaults.shelve=--date "0 0"
  defaults.tag=-d "0 0"
  ui.slash=True
  ui.interactive=False
  ui.mergemarkers=detailed
  $ hg init t
  $ cd t

Make a changeset:

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

This command is ancient:

  $ hg history
  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     test
  

Verify that updating to revision 0 via commands.update() works properly

  $ cat <<EOF > update_to_rev0.py
  > from mercurial import ui, hg, commands
  > myui = ui.ui()
  > repo = hg.repository(myui, path='.')
  > commands.update(myui, repo, rev=0)
  > EOF
  $ hg up null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ python ./update_to_rev0.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg identify -n
  0


Poke around at hashes:

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

  $ hg cat a
  a

Verify should succeed:

  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  1 files, 1 changesets, 1 total revisions

At the end...

  $ cd ..
