filemerge: move check for identical sides out of filemerge()

`filemerge.filemerge()` returns `None` if no merge was necessary
because the two sides were identical. I don't think it should be that
function's responsibility to handle that case; we should ideally not
even call `filemerge.filemerge()` if the two inputs identical. This
patch therefore moves the check out to the caller (`mergestate.py`).

The largefiles test changed because we now notice that the two sides
made the same change, so we don't consider it a merge. Also note that
the new message better matches the line above it in the test output.
