[PATCH v3 2/4] merge: clarify call chain

prepare_to_commit() cannot be reached in the non-squash case: It is called by merge_trivial() and finish_automerge() only, but the calls to the latter are somewhat hard to track:

If option_commit is not set, the code in cmd_merge() uses a fake conflict return code (ret=1) to avoid writing the tree, which also avoids setting automerge_was_ok (just as in the proper ret==1 case), so that finish_automerge() is not called.

To ensure that no code change breaks that assumption, safe-guard prepare_to_commit() by a BUG() statement.
