filemerge: store error messages in module variables

Copytracing may be disabled because it's too slow (see
experimental.disablecopytrace config option). In that case user may get errors
like 'local changed FILE which other deleted'. It would be nice to give user a
hint to rerun command with `--config experimental.disablecopytrace=False`. To
make it possible let's extract error message to variables so that extension may
overwrite them.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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.
