[PATCH 4/7] merge-ort: capture and print ll-merge warnings in our preferred fashion

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Instead of immediately printing ll-merge warnings to stderr, we save them in our output strbuf. Besides allowing us to move these warnings to a special file for --remerge-diff, this has two other benefits for regular merges done by merge-ort:

  * The deferral of messages ensures we can print all messages about
    any given path together (merge-recursive was known to sometimes
    intersperse messages about other paths, particularly when renames
    were involved).
  * The deferral of messages means we can avoid printing spurious
    conflict messages when we just end up aborting due to local user
    modifications in the way.  (In contrast to merge-recursive.c which
    prematurely checks for local modifications in the way via
    unpack_trees() and gets the check wrong both in terms of false
    positives and false negatives relative to renames, merge-ort does
    not perform the local modifications in the way check until the
    checkout() step after the full merge has been computed.)
