[PATCH 0/2] Switch default merge backend from recursive to ort

<pull.1011.git.1628055482.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

This is a reroll of my RFC series[1] to switch the default merge backend from recursive to ort. The consensus seems to be that we should do this immediately after the 2.33 release.

Note that folks who want to get the old merge backend after this series can simply set pull.twohead=recursive. (And, similarly, before this series, those who want to try out ort in Git 2.32 or Git 2.33 can set pull.twohead=ort.)

Changes since the RFC version of this series:
 * Now depends on the reroll of en/merge-strategy-docs I just submitted[2].
 * Made tweaks to code and documentation suggested by Stolee, Dscho, and
   Ævar
