rerere: try_merge() should use LL_MERGE_ERROR when it means an error

When the preimage or the postimage files cannot be read, the
try_merge() helper function returns LL_MERGE_CONFLICT.  To all of
its callers, this does not make them do wrong things per-se, as they
are only checking if the result is 0 and LL_MERGE_CONFLICT is not 0.

But it is an error if we fail to read the input we expect to be able
to read; return LL_MERGE_ERROR instead.  This does not change any
behaviour---it just makes the code use the "correct" constant to
signal an error.
