Add a --conflicts-in-index option to merge-recursive, which instructs
it to always store the 3-way merged result in the index. (Normally it
only does so in recursive invocations, but not for the final result.)
This serves as a building block for the "remerge diff" feature coming
up in a subsequent patch. The external option lets us easily use it
from tests, where we'd otherwise need a new test-* helper to access
the feature.
Furthermore, it might occasionally be useful for scripts that want to
look at the result of invoking git-merge without tampering with the
worktree. They could already get the _conflicts_ with --index-only,
but not (conveniently) the conflict-hunk formatted files that would
normally be written to the worktree.

a complex merge that needs manual resolution. It is
