[PATCH 08/12] ll-merge: let caller decide whether to renormalize

Add a “renormalize” bit to the ll-merge options word so callers can decide on a case-by-case basis whether the merge is likely to have overlapped with a change in smudge/clean rules.

This reveals a few commands that have not been taking that situation into account, though it does not fix them.

No functional change intended.

Uses the flag word now.

The new option is not exposed through “git merge-file”, just like the virtual-ancestor option isn’t, but that is only from laziness. Exposing it would make tests this easier, too.

Some worries:
 - "checkout -m" does not do convert_to_worktree() but it should;
 - "rerere forget" has not been introduced to the wonderful world
   of smudge filters, either.
