[PATCH v2 2/2] git-merge-file: do not add LF at EOF while applying unrelated change

If 'current-file' does not contain LF at EOF, and change between 'base-file' and 'other-file' does not change any line close to EOF, the 3-way merge should not add LF to EOF. This is what 'diff3 -m' does, and seems to be a reasonable expectation.

The change which introduced the behavior is cd1d61c44f. It always calls function xdl_recs_copy() for sides with add_nl == 1. In fact, it looks like the only case when this is needed is when 2 files are being union-merged, and they do not have LF at EOF (strictly speaking, the first of them).

Add tests:
* "merge without conflict (missing LF at EOF, away from change in the
other file)" and "merge does not add LF away of change", to demonstrate
the changed behavior.
* "conflict at EOF without LF resolved by --union", to verify that the
union-merge at the end inerts newline between versions.
* some more tests which I felt like not covering the functionality well
