merge-recursive: honor diff.algorithm

The documentation claims that "recursive defaults to the diff.algorithm
config setting", but this is currently not the case. This fixes it,
ensuring that diff.algorithm is used when -Xdiff-algorithm is not
supplied. This affects the following porcelain commands: "merge",
"rebase", "cherry-pick", "pull", "stash", "log", "am" and "checkout".
It also affects the "merge-tree" ancillary interrogator.

This change refactors the initialization of merge options to introduce
two functions, "init_merge_ui_options" and "init_merge_basic_options"
instead of just one "init_merge_options". This design follows the
approach used in diff.c, providing initialization methods for
porcelain and plumbing commands respectively. Thanks to that, the
"replay" and "merge-recursive" plumbing commands remain unaffected by
diff.algorithm.
