[PATCH 5/6] builtin-merge: avoid non-strategy git-merge commands in error message

[Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If an invalid strategy is supplied, like -s foobar, then git-merge
listed all git-merge-* commands. This is not perfect, since for example
git-merge-index is not a valid strategy.

These are now removed from the output by scanning the list of main
commands; if the git-merge-foo command is listed in the all_strategy
list, then it's shown, otherwise excluded. This does not exclude
commands somewhere else in the PATH, where custom strategies are
expected.
