subtree: fix "git subtree split --rejoin"

"git merge" in v2.9 prevents merging unrelated histories.

"git subtree split --rejoin" creates unrelated histories when
creating a split repo from a raw sub-directory that did not
originate from an invocation of "git subtree add".

Restore the original behavior by passing --allow-unrelated-histories
when merging subtrees.  This ensures that the synthetic history
created by "git subtree split" can be merged.

Add a test to ensure that this feature works as advertised.
