[PATCH 05/10] merge_file(): add comment explaining behavior wrt conflict style

The merge_file() function is a helper for ‘git read-tree’, which does not respect the merge.conflictstyle option, so there is no need to worry about its ancestor_name parameter for ll_merge(). Add a comment to this effect.

There are more non-changes (e.g., in builtin/merge-tree.c), but none
of them seemed nonobvious like this one.
