Jonathan Nieder	712516bcac	ll-merge: replace flag argument with options struct Keeping track of the flag bits is proving more trouble than it's worth. Instead, use a pointer to an options struct like most similar APIs do. Callers with no special requests can pass NULL to request the default options.

ll-merge: replace flag argument with options struct

Keeping track of the flag bits is proving more trouble than it's
worth.  Instead, use a pointer to an options struct like most similar
APIs do.

Callers with no special requests can pass NULL to request the default
options.

ll-merge: make flag easier to populate

ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:

 - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
   an option struct passed by pointer cannot;

 - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
   while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.

The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque.  Mitigate that with a few macros.
