Johan Herland 3228e67120 git notes merge: Add automatic conflict resolvers (ours, theirs, union)
The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user
to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid
strategies to choose from:

1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts.
   This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented
   properly in future patches.

2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and
   discards the remote version.

3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and
   discards the local version.

4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote
   version to the local version.

The strategies are implemented using the combine_notes_* functions from the
notes.h API.

The patch also includes testcases verifying the correct implementation of
these strategies.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Stephen Boyd: Use correct option name

* written into 'result_sha1', and 1 is returned.
* 3. The merge fails. result_sha1 is set to null_sha1, and -1 is returned.

* Both o->local_ref and o->remote_ref must be given (non-NULL), but either ref
