"git blame file" has always meant "find the origin of each line of
the file in the history leading to HEAD, oh by the way, blame the
lines that are modified locally to the working tree".
This teaches "git blame" that during a conflicted merge, some
uncommitted changes may have come from the other history that is
being merged.
The verify_working_tree_path() function introduced in the previous
patch to notice a typo in the filename (primarily on case insensitive
filesystems) has been updated to allow a filename that does not exist
in HEAD (i.e. the tip of our history) as long as it exists one of the
commits being merged, so that a "we deleted, the other side modified"
case tracks the history of the file in the history of the other side.

"git blame MAKEFILE" run in a history that has "Makefile" but not
MAKEFILE can get confused on a case insensitive filesystem, because
the check we run to see if there is a corresponding file in the
working tree with lstat("MAKEFILE") succeeds. In addition to that
check, we have to make sure that the given path also exists in the
commit we start digging history from (i.e. "HEAD").
Note that this reveals the breakage in a test added in cd8ae20
(git-blame shouldn't crash if run in an unmerged tree, 2007-10-18),
which expects the entire merge-in-progress path to be blamed to the
working tree when it did not exist in our tree. As it is clear in
the log message of that commit, the old breakage was that it was
causing an internal error and the fix was about avoiding it.
Just check that the command does not die an uncontrolled death. For
this particular case, the blame should fail, as the history for the
file in that contents has not been committed yet at the point in the
test.

Currently we have three test files matching t800?-blame.sh.
Rename the latter two to make it easier to spot where additions would
go.
