Johannes Schindelin ee95ec5d58 xdl_merge(): introduce XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM
When a merge conflicts, there are often common lines that are not really
common, such as empty lines or lines containing a single curly bracket.

With XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM, we use the following heuristics: when a
hunk does not contain any letters or digits, it is treated as conflicting.

In other words, a conflict which used to look like this:

	<<<<<<<
					a = 1;
	=======
					output();
	>>>>>>>
				}
			}
		}

	<<<<<<<
		output();
	=======
		b = 1;
	>>>>>>>

will look like this with ZEALOUS_ALNUM:

	<<<<<<<
					a = 1;
				}
			}
		}

		output();
	=======
					output();
				}
			}
		}

		b = 1;
	>>>>>>>

To demonstrate this, git-merge-file has been switched from
XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS to XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM.
