filemerge: be more strict when detecting conflict markers, add `|` markers I received a user complaint about detecting a line that contained 78 `=` followed by `*/` as a conflict marker. We'll never generate that, we generate 7 identical characters and either the end of the line, or a space. Let's be explicit about detecting exactly what we produce to reduce the chances of a false positive. While we're here, add `|||||||` as a detected conflict marker (generated with the `keep-merge3` style conflicts). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11391
