simplemerge: stop merging file flags

As 384df4db6520 (merge: merge file flags together with file content,
2013-01-09) explains, we shouldn't do a 3-way merge of the
symlink. However, since 84614212ae39 (flags: actually merge flags in
simplemerge, 2020-05-16), we do that in
`simplemerge.simplemerge()`. What's more, the merging of the
executable flag there isn't actually necessary; it was made a no-op by
the very next commit, i.e. 4234c9af515d (flags: read flag from
dirstate/disk for workingcopyctx (issue5743), 2020-05-16).

I found the overall flag-merging code (not the bit in
`simplemerge.py`) very hard to follow, but I think I now finally
understand how it works. `mergestate.resolve()` calculates the merged
file flags and sets them on the local side of the merge (confusingly
by calling `_restore_backup()`). Then it calls
`filemerge.filemerge()`, which in turn calls
`simplemerge.simplemerge()` (if premerge is enabled). That means that
the flags on the local side `fcs.flags()` are already correct when the
flag-merging code in `simplemerge.simplemerge()` runs. Interestingly,
that code still works when the local side already has the merged
value, it just doesn't change the value. Here's a truth table to
explain why:

```
BLOMCAR
0000000
0011111
0101011
0111111
1000000
1010000
1100000
1111101
```

B: Base
L: Local
O: Other
M: Merged flags from `mergestate.resolve()`, i.e. what's called "local"
   when we get to `simplemerge.simplemerge()`
C: `commonflags` in `simplemerge.simplemerge()`, i.e. `M & O`
A: `addedflags` in `simplemerge.simplemerge()`, i.e. `(M ^ O) - B`
R: Re-merged flags `simplemerge.simplemerge()`, i.e. `C | A`

As you can see, the re-merged flags are always unchanged compared to
the initial merged flags (R equals M).

Therefore, this patch effectively backs out 84614212ae39. (I might
later refactor this code to have the flags explicitly passed in.)

`simplemerge.simplemerge()` is also called from
`contrib/simplemerge.py`, but that code never passes any flags.

#testcases skip-detection fail-if-detected

Test situations that "should" only be reproducible:
- on networked filesystems, or
- user using `hg debuglocks` to eliminate the lock file, or
- something (that doesn't respect the lock file) writing to the .hg directory
while we're running

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ cat > "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh" <<EOF
  >     [ -n "\${WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE:-}" ] && touch "\${WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE}"
  >     f="\${WAITLOCK_FILE}"
  >     start=\`date +%s\`
  >     timeout=5
  >     while [ \\( ! -f \$f \\) -a \\( ! -L \$f \\) ]; do
  >         now=\`date +%s\`
  >         if [ "\`expr \$now - \$start\`" -gt \$timeout ]; then
  >             echo "timeout: \$f was not created in \$timeout seconds (it is now \$(date +%s))"
  >             exit 1
  >         fi
  >         sleep 0.1
  >     done
  >     if [ \$# -gt 1 ]; then
  >         cat "\$@"
  >     fi
  > EOF

Things behave differently if we don't already have a 00changelog.i file when
this all starts, so let's make one.

  $ echo r0 > r0
  $ hg commit -qAm 'r0'

Start an hg commit that will take a while
  $ EDITOR_STARTED="$(pwd)/.editor_started"
  $ MISCHIEF_MANAGED="$(pwd)/.mischief_managed"
  $ JOBS_FINISHED="$(pwd)/.jobs_finished"

#if fail-if-detected
  $ cat >> .hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [debug]
  > revlog.verifyposition.changelog = fail
  > EOF
#endif

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ (WAITLOCK_ANNOUNCE="${EDITOR_STARTED}" \
  >      WAITLOCK_FILE="${MISCHIEF_MANAGED}" \
  >           HGEDITOR="sh $TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh" \
  >           hg commit -qAm 'r1 (foo)' --edit foo > .foo_commit_out 2>&1 ; touch "${JOBS_FINISHED}") &

Wait for the "editor" to actually start
  $ WAITLOCK_FILE="${EDITOR_STARTED}" sh "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh"

Break the locks, and make another commit.
  $ hg debuglocks -LW
  $ echo bar > bar
  $ hg commit -qAm 'r2 (bar)' bar
  $ hg debugrevlogindex -c
     rev linkrev nodeid       p1           p2
       0       0 222799e2f90b 000000000000 000000000000
       1       1 6f124f6007a0 222799e2f90b 000000000000

Awaken the editor from that first commit
  $ touch "${MISCHIEF_MANAGED}"
And wait for it to finish
  $ WAITLOCK_FILE="${JOBS_FINISHED}" sh "$TESTTMP/waitlock_editor.sh"

#if skip-detection
(Ensure there was no output)
  $ cat .foo_commit_out
And observe a corrupted repository -- rev 2's linkrev is 1, which should never
happen for the changelog (the linkrev should always refer to itself).
  $ hg debugrevlogindex -c
     rev linkrev nodeid       p1           p2
       0       0 222799e2f90b 000000000000 000000000000

       2       1 ac80e6205bb2 222799e2f90b 000000000000
#endif

#if fail-if-detected
  $ cat .foo_commit_out
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
  note: commit message saved in .hg/last-message.txt
  note: use 'hg commit --logfile .hg/last-message.txt --edit' to reuse it
  abort: 00changelog.i: file cursor at position 249, expected 121
And no corruption in the changelog.
  $ hg debugrevlogindex -c

And, because of transactions, there's none in the manifestlog either.
