evolve: improve error messages when conflicts occur
This patch improves the error messages when conflicts occur.
First, we drop the line 'evolution failed', that is not the best line we can
show and evolution didn't failed, it's just interrupted by the conflicts and
when user will run `hg evolve --continue`, things will be fine. I still remember
when I first saw 'evolution failed', I got a bit scare as am I in a recoverable
position or not. So let's drop this scary line.
Second, we replace the error messages to say `resolve conflicts and see
help-topic`. The help topic was added recently and documents all the three flags
very well. Addition of tests also showed that all the three flags works fine
with all the three instability type. So we should advertise them more.
Third, we now raise the error with our error message rather than raising
MergeFailure and having evolution related text in hint or stderr above. This
increase the focus on the error message we want to show.
After this patch, I think error messages by evolve in case of conflicts will be
same in every case.
This test file test the #5720 issue
Check that `hg evolve --continue` doesn't change changeset phase from secret
to draft after a merge conflict.

Test
====
$ hg init $TESTTMP/issue-5720
$ cd $TESTTMP/issue-5720
Create two drafts commits and one secret
$ echo a > a
$ hg commit -Am a
adding a
$ echo b > a
$ hg commit -m b
$ echo c > a
$ hg commit --secret -m c
$ hg log -G -T "{rev}: {phase}"
@ 2: secret

o 1: draft

o 0: draft
Amend the second draft with new content
$ hg prev
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
[1] b
$ echo b2 > a
$ hg amend
1 new orphan changesets
$ hg log -G -T "{rev}: {phase}"

Evolve which triggers a conflict
$ hg evolve
move:[2] c
atop:[3] b
merging a
warning: conflicts while merging a! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
abort: fix conflicts and see `hg help evolve.interrupted`
[255]
Fix the conflict
$ echo c2 > a
$ hg resolve -m
(no more unresolved files)
continue: hg evolve --continue
Continue the evolution
$ hg evolve --continue
evolving 2:13833940840c "c"
working directory is now at 3d2080c198e5
Tip should stay in secret phase
$ hg log -G -T "{rev}: {phase}"
@ 4: secret

o 0: draft
$ hg log -r . -T '{phase}\n'
