hgmerge: add cleanup functions This patch adds functions cleanup, success and failure. The last two of these should be used instead of exit. Current code was changed to use them. It also moves $HGTMP to the top of the file (it's used in the cleanup function), changes the comment and removes now unneeded trap in the diff+patch merge.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -m "text"
  for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -m "test" -u test -d "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip
