Calvin Wan 4057523a40 submodule merge: update conflict error message
When attempting to merge in a superproject with conflicting submodule
pointers that cannot be fast-forwarded or trivially resolved, the merge
fails and Git prints an error message that accurately describes the
failure, but does not provide steps for the user to resolve the error.

Git is left in a conflicted state, which requires the user to:
 1. merge submodules or update submodules to an already existing
	commit that reflects the merge
 2. add submodules changes to the superproject
 3. finish merging superproject
These steps are non-obvious for newer submodule users to figure out
based on the error message and neither `git submodule status` nor `git
status` provide any useful pointers.

Update error message to provide steps to resolve submodule merge
conflict. Future work could involve adding an advice flag to the
message. Although the message is long, it also has the id of the
submodule commit that needs to be merged, which could be useful
information for the user.

Additionally, 5 merge failures that resulted in an early return have
been updated to reflect the status of the merge.
1. Null merge base (null o): CONFLICT_SUBMODULE_NULL_MERGE_BASE added
   as a new conflict type and will print updated error message.
2. Null merge side a (null a): BUG(). See [1] for discussion
3. Null merge side b (null b): BUG(). See [1] for discussion
4. Submodule not checked out: added NEEDSWORK bit
5. Submodule commits not present: added NEEDSWORK bit
The errors with a NEEDSWORK bit deserve a more detailed explanation of
how to resolve them. See [2] for more context.
