Changes from v4:
- deprecate --rebase-merges="" rather than removing it outright
- follow the established convention for what "" and NULL mean as
booleans
- add tailored error message for conflicting options and tests for it
- rename parse_opt_merges to parse_opt_rebase_merges to avoid confusion
with parse_opt_merge
- similarly, rename parse_merges_value to parse_rebase_merges_value
- move null check from parse_rebase_merges_value to
parse_opt_rebase_merges
- remove tests that check whether the config system itself works
Suggestions not incorporated:
- remove the callback function
- make --rebase-merge without an argument override
rebase.merges=rebase-cousins
- make rebase.merge accept only a subset of the possible boolean values,
or change the meanings of some of those values
- make --rebase-merge="" and rebase.merge="" do different things without
warning
- remove tests that verify that the command line option properly
overrides the config option
Thanks to Johannes, Phillip, and Junio for your help making these
patches better. If you feel strongly about one of the unincorporated
suggestions, let's continue the discussion and try to figure out how to
make it happen.

## Commit message ##
- rebase: stop accepting --rebase-merges=""
+ rebase: deprecate --rebase-merges=""
The unusual syntax --rebase-merges="" (that is, --rebase-merges with an
empty string argument) has been an undocumented synonym of
- --rebase-merges=no-rebase-cousins. Stop accepting that syntax to avoid
+ --rebase-merges=no-rebase-cousins. Deprecate that syntax to avoid
confusion when a rebase.merges config option is introduced, where
- rebase.merges="" will be equivalent to not passing --rebase-merges.
+ rebase.merges="" will be equivalent to --no-rebase-merges.
