test: drop usage of `HGMERGE` in `test-lfconvert.t` Using configuration instead of environment variable has a strange effect on the output, but no impact on the end result.

test: drop usage of `HGMERGE` in `test-merge-types.t` Using configuration instead of environment variable has a strange effect on the output, but no impact on the end result.

test: use the "correct" merge tool in `test-rebase-detach.t` The value of `HGMERGE` overrides the value passed through --config. We are about to drop this `HGMERGE` environment variable so we update the value used in config to match what is currently in use. This is another example of confusion introduced by the `HGMERGE` environment variable.

test: also deactivate `ui.merge` when testing merge tool We are about to introduce a default config for `ui.merge`. Since `test-merge-tools.t` is about testing merge configuration, we need to make sure it won't interfere.

tests: adjust merge tool config in test-largefiles-update.t Previously, the `ui.merge=internal:fail` configuration was shadowed by the the `HGMERGE=internal:merge` environment variable. We would like to remove this usage of `HGMERGE` variable because it is error-prone (eg: this very test). We start by cleaning up test independently to avoid large churn when the change happens.

extensions: include current version in "invalid version" message It is "not so rare" for the mercurial version to be badly detected at build time. In such case, version check for extensions gets confused. To help pinpoint the error, we now include the Mercurial's version number in the error message.

obsolete: prefetch the repo.obsstore used in phasedivergence loop The speedup is probably quite negligible, but it cannot hurt.
