[PATCH 5/6 v5] merge.c: delegate handling of "-" shorthand to revision.c:get_sha1

The callchain for handling each argument contains the function revision.c:get_sha1 where the shorthand for "-" ~ "@{-1}" has already been implemented in a previous patch; the complete callchain leading to that function is:

1. merge.c:collect_parents
2. commit.c:get_merge_parent : this function calls revision.c:get_sha1
This patch also adds a test for checking that the shorthand works properly
