We already have a ":" after the user name to denote the start of the
description. The current usage of quotes around the description is
problematic as the truncation to 80 chars is likely to drop the
closing quote. This may confuse syntax coloration in some editors.
Adds a conflict marker formatter that can produce custom conflict marker
descriptions. It can be set via ui.mergemarkertemplate. The old behavior
can be used still by setting ui.mergemarkers=basic.
The default format is similar to:
{node|short} {tag} {branch} {bookmarks} - {author}: "{desc|firstline}"
And renders as:
contextblahblah
<<<<<<< local: c7fdd7ce4652 - durham: "Fix broken stuff in my feature branch"

A follow-up to 6847621b4da6.
internal:merge should never be picked for merging symlinks ... but in the test
suite we have HGMERGE="internal:merge" which bypasses all the usual merge-tool
cleverness. Without any output it can be hard to figure out what happened and
where the problem is.
Simplemerge is not symlink aware and will never do the the right thing on
symlinks. It would read the symlink as a file and abort with 'No such file or
directory' on dangling symlinks.
Instead, internal:merge now simply fails to merge symlinks.
hgrc(5) already implies that this works, so we might as well support it.
Another approach would be to implement this in util.findexe(): that
would benefit other callers of findexe(), e.g. convert and anyone
calling the user's editor. But findexe() is really implemented in
both posix.py and windows.py, so this would make both of those modules
depend on util.py: not good. So keep it narrow and only for merge
tools.
ui.forcemerge is set before calling into merge or resolve commands, then unset
to prevent ui pollution for further operations.
ui.forcemerge takes precedence over HGMERGE, but mimics HGMERGE behavior if the
given --tool is not found by the merge-tools machinery. This makes it possible
to do: hg resolve --tool="python mymerge.py" FILE
With this approach, HGMERGE and ui.merge are not harmed by --tool
