merge: abort if index does not match HEAD for trivial merges

Browse Source 
As noted in the last commit and the links therein (especially commit
9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before invoking merge machinery,
round N", 2019-08-17), we have had a very long history of problems with
failing to enforce the requirement that index matches HEAD when starting
a merge.

The "trivial merge" logic in builtin/merge.c is yet another such case
we previously missed.  Add a check for it to ensure it aborts if the
index does not match HEAD, and add a testcase where this fix is needed.

Note that the fix here would also incidentally be an alternative fix
for the testcase added in the last patch, but the fix in the last patch
is still needed when multiple merge strategies are in use, so tweak the
testcase from the previous commit so that it continues to exercise the
codepath added in the last commit.
