If one side deletes a file and the other changes its
content, we notice and report a conflict. However, if
instead of changing the content, we change only the mode,
the merge does not notice (and the mode change is silently
dropped).
The trivial index merge notices the problem and correctly
leaves the conflict in the index, but both merge-recursive
and merge-one-file will silently resolve this in favor of
the deletion. In many cases that is a sane resolution, but
we should be punting to the user whenever there is any
question. So let's detect and treat this as a conflict (in
both strategies).

This script tests the filemode handling of merge-recursive,
but we do not test the same thing for merge-resolve. Let's
generalize the script a little:
1. Break out the setup steps for each test into a separate
snippet.
2. For each test, run it twice; once with "-s recursive"
and once with "-s resolve". We can avoid repeating
ourselves by adding a function.
3. Since we have a nice abstracted function, we can make
our tests more thorough by testing both directions
(change on "ours" versus "theirs").
This improves our test coverage, and will make this the
place to add more tests related to merging mode changes.
