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.

#require no-msys # MSYS will translate web paths as if they were file paths

This is a test of the push wire protocol over CGI-based hgweb.

initialize repository

  $ hg init r
  $ cd r
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -A -m "0"
  adding a
  $ echo '[web]' > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'allow_push = *' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'push_ssl = false' >> .hg/hgrc

create hgweb invocation script

  $ cat >hgweb.cgi <<HGWEB
  > import cgitb
  > cgitb.enable()
  > from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable()
  > from mercurial.hgweb import hgweb
  > from mercurial.hgweb import wsgicgi
  > application = hgweb('.', 'test repository')
  > wsgicgi.launch(application)
  > HGWEB
  $ chmod 755 hgweb.cgi
