merge: use constants for merge state record types
merge.py is using multiple discrete sets of 1 and 2 letter constants
to define types and behavior. To the uninitiated, the code is very
difficult to reason about. I didn't even realize there were multiple
sets of constants in play initially!
We begin our sanity injection with merge state records. The record
types (which are serialized to disk) are now defined in RECORD_*
constants.

$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama
adding a
$ echo b > b
$ hg branch b
marked working directory as branch b
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -Amb
adding b
$ hg co -C 0
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Fast-forward:
$ hg merge b
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
$ hg ci -Ammerge
Bogus fast-forward should fail:
$ hg merge b
abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)
$ hg merge ::.
abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
