/**
 * Merges this medium to the specified medium which must be either its
 * direct ancestor or descendant.
 *
 * Given this medium is SOURCE and the specified medium is TARGET, we will
 * get two variants of the merge operation:
 *
 *                forward merge
 *                ------------------------->
 *  [Extra] <- SOURCE <- Intermediate <- TARGET
 *  Any        Del       Del             LockWr
 *
 *
 *                            backward merge
 *                <-------------------------
 *             TARGET <- Intermediate <- SOURCE <- [Extra]
 *             LockWr    Del             Del       LockWr
 *
 * Each diagram shows the involved media on the media chain where
 * SOURCE and TARGET belong. Under each medium there is a state value which
 * the medium must have at a time of the mergeTo() call.
 *
 * The media in the square braces may be absent (e.g. when the forward
 * operation takes place and SOURCE is the base medium, or when the backward
 * merge operation takes place and TARGET is the last child in the chain) but if
 * they present they are involved too as shown.
 *
 * Neither the source medium nor intermediate media may be attached to
 * any VM directly or in the snapshot, otherwise this method will assert.
 *
 * The #prepareMergeTo() method must be called prior to this method to place all
 * involved to necessary states and perform other consistency checks.
 *
 * If @a aWait is @c true then this method will perform the operation on the
 * calling thread and will not return to the caller until the operation is
 * completed. When this method succeeds, all intermediate medium objects in
 * the chain will be uninitialized, the state of the target medium (and all
 * involved extra media) will be restored. @a aMediumLockList will not be
 * deleted, whether the operation is successful or not. The caller has to do
 * this if appropriate. Note that this (source) medium is not uninitialized
 * because of possible AutoCaller instances held by the caller of this method
 * on the current thread. It's therefore the responsibility of the caller to
 * call Medium::uninit() after releasing all callers.
 *
 * If @a aWait is @c false then this method will create a thread to perform the
 * operation asynchronously and will return immediately. If the operation
 * succeeds, the thread will uninitialize the source medium object and all
 * intermediate medium objects in the chain, reset the state of the target
 * medium (and all involved extra media) and delete @a aMediumLockList.
 * If the operation fails, the thread will only reset the states of all
 * involved media and delete @a aMediumLockList.
 *
 * When this method fails (regardless of the @a aWait mode), it is a caller's
 * responsibility to undo state changes and delete @a aMediumLockList using
 * #cancelMergeTo().
 *
 * If @a aProgress is not NULL but the object it points to is @c null then a new
 * progress object will be created and assigned to @a *aProgress on success,
 * otherwise the existing progress object is used. If Progress is NULL, then no
 * progress object is created/used at all. Note that @a aProgress cannot be
 * NULL when @a aWait is @c false (this method will assert in this case).
 *
 * @param pTarget       Target medium.
 * @param fMergeForward Merge direction.
 * @param pParentForTarget New parent for target medium after merge.
 * @param aChildrenToReparent List of children of the source which will have
 *                      to be reparented to the target after merge.
 * @param aMediumLockList Medium locking information.
 * @param aProgress     Where to find/store a Progress object to track operation
 *                      completion.
 * @param aWait         @c true if this method should block instead of creating
 *                      an asynchronous thread.
 *
 * @note Locks the tree lock for writing. Locks the media from the chain
 *       for writing.
