Description

HBASE-14475 and HBASE-14605 narrowed the scope of doAs() calls to region observer notifications for region splitting.

During review of HBASE-14605, Andrew brought up the case for region merge.

This JIRA is to implement similar scope narrowing technique for region merging.

The majority of the change would be in RegionMergeTransactionImpl class.
