merge: .hgsubstate is special as merge destination, not as merge source

merge: remove redundant unlink after merge The early prescan for move/remove and removal of moved files in applyupdates was introduced with mergestate 368a4ec603cc and rendered this chunk of code irrelevant. The impact of the chunk was reduced in 5b3383ea67d2 - but it could have been removed completely.

merge: rename list of actions from action to actions

merge: consistently use "x" instead of 'x' for internal action types This makes it simpler to search for places where the action types are handled.

merge: consistently use repo.wopener.audit instead of creating a new auditor

scmutil: simplify vfs.audit - drop wrapped vfs.auditor

util: copyfile: remove dest before copying This prevents spurious problems writing to locked files on Windows.

merge: warn when internal:merge cannot merge symlinks A follow-up to d084df89d948. 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.

histedit: correct the number of added revisions in online help In the context of help document on which this patch focuses, the example repository, which is source of cloning, should be already histedit-ed, and contain only 3 revisions (rev # 0 to 2). So, not 3, but 4 revisions should be added to the destination repository of cloning, if it contains 7 revisions (rev # 0 to 6). This patch also adds modifier "histedit-ed" to "example repository", to make context clear.
