create_notes_commit() is needed by both the notes-merge code, and by
commit_notes() in notes-utils. Since it is generally useful, and not
bound to the notes-merge machinery, we move it from (the more specific)
notes-merge to (the more general) notes-utils.

There wan't a way for commit_tree() to notice if the message the caller
prepared contained a NUL byte, as it did not take the length of the
message as a parameter. Use a pointer to a strbuf instead, so that we can
either choose to allow low-level plumbing commands to make commits that
contain NUL byte in its message, or forbid NUL everywhere by adding the
check in commit_tree(), in later patches.

This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.
This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.
Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_
to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy.
The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy.

When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.
This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.
In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:
- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.
In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.
FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.
The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description
- Sverre Rabbelier: Rename --reset to --abort

Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.
The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.
The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.
The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user
to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid
strategies to choose from:
1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts.
This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented
properly in future patches.
2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and
discards the remote version.
3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and
discards the local version.
4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote
version to the local version.
The strategies are implemented using the combine_notes_* functions from the
notes.h API.
The patch also includes testcases verifying the correct implementation of
these strategies.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Stephen Boyd: Use correct option name

This continuation of the 'git notes merge' implementation teaches notes-merge
to properly do real merges between notes trees: Two diffs are performed, one
from $base to $remote, and another from $base to $local. The paths in each
diff are normalized to SHA1 object names. The two diffs are then consolidated
into a single list of change pairs to be evaluated. Each change pair consist
of:
- The annotated object's SHA1
- The $base SHA1 (i.e. the common ancestor notes for this object)
- The $local SHA1 (i.e. the current notes for this object)
- The $remote SHA1 (i.e. the to-be-merged notes for this object)
From the pair ($base -> $local, $base -> $remote), we can determine the merge
result using regular 3-way rules. If conflicts are encountered in this
process, we fail loudly and exit (conflict handling to be added in a future
patch), If we can complete the merge without conflicts, the resulting
notes tree is committed, and the current notes ref updated.
The patch includes added testcases verifying that we can successfully do real
conflict-less merges.

Create new function create_notes_commit() which is slightly more general than
commit_notes() (accepts multiple commit parents and does not auto-update the
notes ref). This function will be used by the notes-merge functionality in
future patches.
Also rewrite builtin/notes.c:commit_notes() to reuse this new function.

This initial implementation of 'git notes merge' only handles the trivial
merge cases (i.e. where the merge is either a no-op, or a fast-forward).
The patch includes testcases for these trivial merge cases.
Future patches will extend the functionality of 'git notes merge'.
