Adds some initial information for users for the updated merge changes in Accumulo 4.0. I didn't want to go to detailed into the internals but the changes describe how the new merge is different (faster and fences files, etc compared to chop compactions) and also goes into auto merge and how to configure tablets using the API. I'm marking it as a draft as I'm sure some changes are needed and polishing but want to get some feedback on how things look and if we need more detail or not. I also assume there will be updates in the future before release as things are tweaked as 4.0 still is not close to release.
