The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).
Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

Rename the "branch1" parameter given to resolve() to "ours", to
clarify what is going on. Also, annotate the unresolved_directory()
function with some comments to show what decisions are made in each
step, and highlight two bugs that need to be fixed.
Add two tests to t4300 to illustrate these bugs.

15b4f7a (merge-tree: use ll_merge() not xdl_merge(), 2010-01-16)
introduced a regression to merge-tree to cause it to segfault when merging
files which existed in one branch, but not in the other or in the
merge-base. This was caused by referencing entry->path at a time when
entry was known to be possibly-NULL.
To correct the problem, we save the path of the entry we came in with,
as the path should be the same among all the stages no matter which
sides are involved in the merge.

merge-tree had no test cases, so here we add some very basic tests for
it, including some known-breakages.
