Johan Herland 6abb3655ef git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 2/2
When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.

This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.

In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:

- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
  This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
  .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
  stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.

In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.

FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description
- Sverre Rabbelier: Rename --reset to --abort

* contains the updated notes tree, the SHA1 of the resulting commit is
* written into 'result_sha1', and 1 is returned.
* 3. The merge results in conflicts. This is similar to #2 in that the
* partial merge result (i.e. merge result minus the unmerged entries)
* are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 or the resulting commit
* (to be amended when the conflicts have been resolved) is written into
* 'result_sha1'. The unmerged entries are written into the
* .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory with conflict markers.
* -1 is returned.
*
* Both o->local_ref and o->remote_ref must be given (non-NULL), but either ref
* (although not both) may refer to a non-existing notes ref, in which case
* that notes ref is interpreted as an empty notes tree, and the merge
* trivially results in what the other ref points to.
