[PATCH v2 03/13] merge-tree: add option parsing and initial shell for real merge function

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>

Let merge-tree accept a `--write-tree` parameter for choosing real
merges instead of trivial merges, and accept an optional
`--trivial-merge` option to get the traditional behavior.  Note that
these accept different numbers of arguments, though, so these names
need not actually be used.

Note that real merges differ from trivial merges in that they handle:
  - three way content merges
  - recursive ancestor consolidation
  - renames
  - proper directory/file conflict handling
  - etc.
Basically all the stuff you'd expect from `git merge`, just without
updating the index and working tree.  The initial shell added here does
nothing more than die with "real merges are not yet implemented", but
that will be fixed in subsequent commits.
