From: Vishal Verma <vishal@xxxxxxxxxx>
Convert option_commit to tristate, representing the states of
'default/untouched', 'enabled-by-cli', 'disabled-by-cli'. With this in
place, check whether option_commit was enabled by cli when squashing a
merge. If so, error out, as this is not supported.
Add a note to the --squash option for git-merge to clarify the
incompatibility.
Previously, when --squash was supplied, 'option_commit' was silently
dropped. This could have been surprising to a user who tried to override
the no-commit behavior of squash using --commit explicitly.

v2:
- Error out when both --squash and --commit are supplied (Junio)
- Adjust the documentation accordingly.
