merge: minimize conflicts when common base is not shown (issue4447)

Previously, two changes that were nearly, but not quite, identical would result
in large merge conflict regions that looked very similar, and were thus very
confusing to users, and lead people used to other source control systems to
claim that "mercurial's merge algorithms suck". In the relatively common case
of a new file being introduced in two branches with very slight modifications,
the old behavior would show the entire file as a conflict, and it would be very
difficult for a user to determine what was going on.

In the past, mercurial attempted to solve this with a "very smart" algorithm
that would find all common lines, but this has significant problems as
described in 2ea6d906cf9b.

Instead, we use a "very dumb" algorithm introduced in the previous patch that
simply matches lines at the periphery of conflict regions. This minimizes most
conflict regions well, though there may still be some degenerate edge cases,
like small modification to the beginning and end of a large file.

Default queue:

Applied patches in default queue:

Try to change patch (create succeeds, switch fails):

Empty default queue:

Switch queue:

  $ hg qqueue foo
  $ hg qqueue

List queues, quiet:

  $ hg qqueue --quiet

Fail creating queue with already existing name:

  $ hg qqueue --create foo
  abort: queue "foo" already exists
  [255]

  $ hg qqueue

Create new queue for rename:

  $ hg qqueue --create bar

  $ hg qqueue
  bar (active)
  foo
  patches

Rename queue, same name:

  $ hg qqueue --rename bar
  abort: can't rename "bar" to its current name
  [255]

Rename queue to existing:

  $ hg qqueue --rename foo
  abort: queue "foo" already exists
  [255]

Rename queue:

  $ hg qqueue --rename buz

  $ hg qqueue
  buz (active)
  foo
  patches

Switch back to previous queue:

  $ hg qqueue foo
  $ hg qqueue --delete buz

  $ hg qqueue
  foo (active)
  patches

Create queue for purge:

  $ hg qqueue --create purge-me

  $ hg qqueue

  patches
  purge-me (active)

Create patch for purge:

  $ hg qnew patch-purge-me

  $ ls -1d .hg/patches-purge-me 2>/dev/null || true
  .hg/patches-purge-me

  $ hg qpop -a
  popping patch-purge-me

Purge queue:

  $ hg qqueue foo
  $ hg qqueue --purge purge-me

  $ hg qqueue
  foo (active)
  patches

  $ ls -1d .hg/patches-purge-me 2>/dev/null || true

Unapplied patches:

  $ hg qun
  $ echo c > a
  $ hg qnew -fgDU otherstuff

Fail switching back:

  $ hg qqueue patches
  abort: new queue created, but cannot make active as patches are applied
  [255]

Fail deleting current:

  $ hg qqueue foo --delete
  abort: cannot delete currently active queue
  [255]

Switch back and delete foo:

  $ hg qpop -a

  patch queue now empty

  $ hg qqueue patches

Tricky cases:

  $ hg qqueue store --create
