[PATCH] wt-status.c: set commitable bit if there is a meaningful merge.

The 'commit --dry-run' and commit return values differed if a conflicted merge had been resolved and the commit would be the same as the parent.

Update show_merge_in_progress to set the commitable bit if conflicts have been resolved and a merge is in progress.

Notes:
    In the original report when the dry run switch was passed and after
    the merge commit was resolved head and index matched leading to a
    returned value of 1. [1]
    
    If the dry run switch was not passed, the commit would succeed to
    correctly record the resolution.
    
    The result was that a dry run would report that there would be a
    failure, but there really isn't a failure if the commit is actually
    attemped.
    
    [1] $gmane/276591
    
    It appeared that the conditional for 'Reject an attempt to record a
    non-merge empty commit without * explicit --allow-empty.' could be
    simplified after adding this patch.
    
    This change can't be propagated to the conditional because it allows
    a commit that was previously disallowed.
