Elijah Newren 1f0c3a29da merge-tree: implement real merges
This adds the ability to perform real merges rather than just trivial
merges (meaning handling three way content merges, recursive ancestor
consolidation, renames, proper directory/file conflict handling, and so
forth).  However, unlike `git merge`, the working tree and index are
left alone and no branch is updated.

The only output is:
  - the toplevel resulting tree printed on stdout
  - exit status of 0 (clean), 1 (conflicts present), anything else
    (merge could not be performed; unknown if clean or conflicted)

This output is meant to be used by some higher level script, perhaps in
a sequence of steps like this:

   NEWTREE=$(git merge-tree --write-tree $BRANCH1 $BRANCH2)
   test $? -eq 0 || die "There were conflicts..."
   NEWCOMMIT=$(git commit-tree $NEWTREE -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)
   git update-ref $BRANCH1 $NEWCOMMIT

Note that higher level scripts may also want to access the
conflict/warning messages normally output during a merge, or have quick
access to a list of files with conflicts.  That is not available in this
preliminary implementation, but subsequent commits will add that
ability (meaning that NEWTREE would be a lot more than a tree in the
case of conflicts).

This also marks the traditional trivial merge of merge-tree as
deprecated.  The trivial merge not only had limited applicability, the
output format was also difficult to work with (and its format
undocumented), and will generally be less performant than real merges.
