[RFC PATCH 1/3] merge-ort.c: finalize ODB transactions after each step

In a previous commit, the ORT merge backend learned how to use the bulk-checkin mechanism to emit a single pack containing any new objects created during the merge. This functionality was implemented by setting up a new ODB transaction, and finalizing it at the end of the merge via `process_entries()`.

In a future commit, we will extend this functionality to the new `git replay` command, which needs to see objects from previous steps in order to replay each commit.

As a step towards implementing this, teach the ORT backend to flush the ODB transaction at the end of each step in `process_entries()`, and then finalize the result with `end_odb_transaction()` when calling `merge_finalize()`.

For normal `merge-tree --write-pack` invocations, this produces no functional change: the pack is written out at the end of `process_entries()`, and then the `end_odb_transaction()` call is a noop.
