merge: merge file flags together with file content

The 'x' flag and the 'l' flag are very different. It is usually not a problem
to change the 'x' flag of a normal file independent of the content, but one
does not simply change the type of a file to 'l' independent of the content.

This removes the fmerge function that merged both 'x' and 'l' independent of
content early in the merge process. This correctly introduces some conflicts
instead of silent incorrect merges. 3-way flag merge will now be done in the
resolve process, right next to file content merge. Conflicts can thus be
resolved with (slightly inconvenient) resolve commands like 'resolve f --tool
internal:other'. It thus brings us closer to be able to re-solve manifest merge
after the merge and avoid prompts during merge.

This also removes the "conflicting flags for a - (n)one, e(x)ec or sym(l)ink?"
prompt that nobody could answer and that made it easy to mix symlink targets
and file contents up. Instead it will give a file merge where a sufficiently
clever merge tool can help resolving the issue.

Make sure that the internal merge tools (internal:fail, internal:local, and
internal:other) are used when matched by a merge-pattern in hgrc

Make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test:

  $ unset HGMERGE

  $ hg init

Initial file contents:

  $ echo "line 1" > f
  $ echo "line 2" >> f
  $ echo "line 3" >> f
  $ hg ci -Am "revision 0"
  adding f

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3

Branch 1: editing line 1:

  $ sed 's/line 1/first line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited first line"

Branch 2: editing line 3:

  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/line 3/third line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited third line"
  created new head

Merge using internal:fail tool:

  $ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "* = internal:fail" >> .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  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
  [1]

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using internal:local tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:fail/internal:local/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new
  $ mv .hg/hgrc.new .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using internal:other tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:local/internal:other/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new
  $ mv .hg/hgrc.new .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ cat f
  first line
  line 2
  line 3

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using default tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ rm .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  merging f
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ cat f
  first line
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f
