merge: make mergeresult constructor initialize empty object In future patches, we will be going to update mergeresult object instead of building an actions dict and then setting it in the object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8819

merge: improve documentation of fbid dict used for merge bid I improved the comments explaning what the dict contains meanwhile organizing the comment structure which prevents some confusion. Due to formatting issues, the empty dict was wrapped in `()` which might decieve in thinking that it's a tuple of dict until you decide to find a comma.

merge: move conversion of file-key dict to action-key dict in mergeresult Initially the actions dict which we get has file has keys, but later we want a dict which has actions as keys. This patch moves code computing that to mergeresult class as that's where it should be anyway. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8817

merge: introduce hasconflicts() on mergeresult object This and upcoming patches will improve the mergeresult object making it more powerful and provide clean APIs for various things. Doing this will clean up the core merge code which is present in `update()` a bit. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8816

merge: remove no longer required ACTION_GET_OTHER_AND_STORE In 1b8fd4af33189c84feadb47c74d659ec31cde3b9 I (ab)used merge actions to pass info from manifestmerge() to applyupdates() and store info in mergestate. In previous patches, we introduced a separate return value from manifestmerge() and calculateupdates() and an argument to applyupdates() which achieved the same thing. Let's remove this no longer required messy code. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8744

merge: pass commitinfo to applyupdates() and get it stored in mergestate This patch passes the commitinfo calulcated in manifestmerge() to applyupdates() so that it can be read there and stored in mergestate. On commit, we can read mergestate for such information and act accordingly. This patch also makes ACTION_GET_OTHER_AND_STORE not required anymore. Next patch will remove the messy code surrounding it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8743

merge: introduce 'commitinfo' in mergeresult commitinfo will be used to pass information which is required on commit phase from the merge phase. One common example is, merge chooses filenode from second parent and we need to tell commit to choose that. Right now this one and related cases are not very neatly implement and there is no clear line on how to pass on such information. Upcoming patches will try to work on in this area and make things easier. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8742

merge: return a mergeresult obj from manifestmerge(), calculateupdates() (API) Earlier, manifestmerge() and calculateupdates() returns a tuple of three things. I wanted to add one more thing to return value. Introducing a special class which represents results of a merge will help understand better and also ease adding new return values.
