pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.

This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.

Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.

Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

--rebase::
Rebase the current branch on top of the upstream branch after
fetching. If there is a remote-tracking branch corresponding to
the upstream branch and the upstream branch was rebased since last
fetched, the rebase uses that information to avoid rebasing
non-local changes.
