Commit a8c9bef (pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case,
2009-10-05) fully established the current advices given by git-pull for
the different cases where git-fetch will not have anything marked for
merge:
1. We fetched from a specific remote, and a refspec was given, but it
ended up not fetching anything. This is usually because the user
provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end.
2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to
merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the
default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge.
3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but:
a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch
to merge with.
b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge
with.
4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the
configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't
exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec)
Re-implement the above behavior by implementing get_merge_heads() to
parse the heads in FETCH_HEAD for merging, and implementing
die_no_merge_candidates(), which will be called when FETCH_HEAD has no
heads for merging.

Notes:
v2
* Switched to using fprintf_ln() which will append the trailing newline
at the end for us.
* The die_no_merge_candidates() code has been reorganized a bit to
support the later patch which will tweak the messages to be aware of
git-pull --rebase.
