posix: give checklink a fast path that cache the check file and is read only
util.checklink would create a symlink and remove it again. That would sometimes
happen multiple times. Write operations are relatively expensive and give disk
tear and noise for applications monitoring file system activity.
Instead of creating a symlink and deleting it again, just create it once and
leave it in .hg/cache/check-link . If the file exists, just verify that
os.islink reports true. We will assume that this check is as good as symlink
creation not failing.
Note: The symlink left in .hg/cache has to resolve to a file - otherwise 'make
dist' will fail ...
test-symlink-os-yes-fs-no.py does some monkey patching to simulate a platform
without symlink support. The slightly different testing method requires
additional monkeying.

Merging a conflict araises
$ hg merge
merging A
warning: conflicts while merging A! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
1 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

Correct the conflict without marking the file as resolved
$ echo "ABCD" > A
$ hg commit -m "Merged"
abort: unresolved merge conflicts (see 'hg help resolve')
[255]
Mark the conflict as resolved and commit
$ hg resolve -m A
(no more unresolved files)
$ hg commit -m "Merged"
Test that if a file is removed but not marked resolved, the commit still fails
