[PATCH 0/8] Debug merge-recursive.[ch]

As a wise man once told me, "Deleted code is debugged code!"

This series does some preparation, then moves the code shared between merge-recursive and merge-ort from the former to the latter, and then debugs the remainder of merge-recursive.[ch].

Series overview:

 * Patches 1-5: Preparation; switch remaining callers of
   merge-recursive.[ch] functions to merge-ort equivalents, and add sole
   remaining missing feature (diff-algorithm selection)
 * Patch 6: Nuke merge-recursive.[ch]
 * Patch 7-8: Cleanup testsuite; we don't need GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
   anymore

While the diffstat might look large, the non-test code changes are actually pretty small. The drivers of the big diffstat are:

 * We move a significant chunk of shared code from merge-recursive.[ch] to
   merge-ort.[ch], without modifying it
 * We delete (the remainder of) merge-recursive.[ch]
 * We rip out all the temporary GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM stuff designed to
   let us reuse tests between recursive and ort

Elijah Newren (8):
  checkout: replace merge_trees() with merge_ort_nonrecursive()
  builtin/merge-recursive: switch to using merge_ort_generic()
  merge-ort: enable diff-algorithms other than histogram
  sequencer: switch non-recursive merges over to ort
  merge, sequencer: switch recursive merges over to ort
  merge-recursive.[ch]: thoroughly debug these
  tests: remove GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM and test_expect_merge_algorithm
  builtin/{merge,rebase,revert}: remove GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
