When the index does not match HEAD, the merge strategies are responsible
to detect that condition and abort. The merge-ort-wrappers had code to
implement this and meant to copy the error message from merge-recursive
but deviated in two ways, both due to the message in merge-recursive
being processed by another function that made additional changes:
* It added an implicit "error: " prefix
* It added an implicit trailing newline
We can get these things by making use of the error() function.

Although the various "Already up to date" messages resulting from merge
attempts share identical phrasing, they use a mix of punctuation ranging
from "." to "!" and even "Yeeah!", which leads to extra work for
translators. Ease the job of translators by settling upon "." as
punctuation for all such messages.
While at it, take advantage of printf_ln() to further ease the
translation task so translators need not worry about line termination,
and fix a case of missing line termination in the (unused)
merge_ort_nonrecursive() function.

There are a few differences between the new API in merge-ort and the old
API in merge-recursive. While the new API is more flexible, it might
feel like more work at times than the old API. merge-ort-wrappers
creates two convenience wrappers taking the exact same arguments as the
old merge_trees() and merge_recursive() functions and implements them
via the new API. This makes converting existing callsites easier, and
serves to highlight some of the differences in the API.
