A recursive merge involves merging the merge bases of the two branches
being merged. Such an inner merge can itself generate conflict notices.
While such notices may be useful when initially trying to create a
merge, they seem to just be noise when investigating merges later with
--remerge-diff. (Especially when both sides of the outer merge resolved
the conflict the same way leading to no overall conflict.) Remove them.

Conflicts such as modify/delete, rename/rename, or file/directory are
not representable via content conflict markers, and the normal output
messages notifying users about these were dropped with --remerge-diff.
While we don't want these messages randomly shown before the commit
and diff headers, we do want them to still be shown; include them as
part of the diff headers instead.

When additional headers are provided, we need to
* add diff_filepairs to diff_queued_diff for each paths in the
additional headers map which, unless that path is part of
another diff_filepair already found in diff_queued_diff
* format the headers (colorization, line_prefix for --graph)
* make sure the various codepaths that attempt to return early
if there are "no changes" take into account the headers that
need to be shown.

When users run
git show --remerge-diff $MERGE_COMMIT
or
git log -p --remerge-diff ...
stdout is not an appropriate location to dump conflict messages, but we
do want to provide them to users. We will include them in the diff
headers instead...but for that to work, we need for any multiline
messages to replace newlines with both a newline and a space. Add a new
flag to signal when we want these messages modified in such a fashion,
and use it in path_msg() to modify these messages this way. Also, allow
a special prefix to be specified for these headers.

path_msg() has the ability to mark messages as omittable, designed for
remerge-diff where we'll instead be showing conflict messages as diff
headers for a subsequent diff. While all these messages are very useful
when trying to create a merge initially, early use with the
--remerge-diff feature (the only user of this omittable conflict message
capability), suggests that the particular messages marked in this commit
are just noise when trying to see what changes users made to create a
merge commit. Mark them as omittable.
Note that there were already a few messages marked as omittable in
merge-ort when doing a remerge-diff, because the development of
--remerge-diff preceded the upstreaming of merge-ort and I was trying to
ensure merge-ort could handle all the necessary requirements. See
commit c5a6f65527 ("merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed
output processing", 2020-12-03) for the initial details. For some
examples of already-marked-as-omittable messages, see either
"Auto-merging <path>" or some of the submodule update hints. This
commit just adds two more messages that should also be omittable.

Instead of immediately printing ll-merge warnings to stderr, we save
them in our output strbuf. Besides allowing us to move these warnings
to a special file for --remerge-diff, this has two other benefits for
regular merges done by merge-ort:
* The deferral of messages ensures we can print all messages about
any given path together (merge-recursive was known to sometimes
intersperse messages about other paths, particularly when renames
were involved).
* The deferral of messages means we can avoid printing spurious
conflict messages when we just end up aborting due to local user
modifications in the way. (In contrast to merge-recursive.c which
prematurely checks for local modifications in the way via
unpack_trees() and gets the check wrong both in terms of false
positives and false negatives relative to renames, merge-ort does
not perform the local modifications in the way check until the
checkout() step after the full merge has been computed.)

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"
from ll-merge and instead modify the return status of ll_merge() to
indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred. Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

The --remerge-diff option will need to create new blobs and trees
representing the "automatic merge" state. If one is traversing a
long project history, one can easily get hundreds of thousands of
loose objects generated during `log --remerge-diff`. However, none of
those loose objects are needed after we have completed our diff
operation; they can be summarily deleted.
Add a new helper function to tmp_objdir to discard all the contained
objects, and call it after each merge is handled.

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.
