[PATCH v2 0/9] Support both merge backends in the testsuite, via environment variable

This patch series builds on top of en/dir-rename-tests. It can be applied independent of my "new merge-ort" API series I submitted a couple days ago[1], but this series uses the same environment variable as patch 4 of that series.

As promised, here is a series that makes the testsuite changes needed to simultaneously support both merge backends, keyed off a GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM environment variable setting.

NOTE: The tests do not yet pass with GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort, because I
haven't submitted the implementation of the merge-ort functions -- yet. I
figured they are useful as a high level overview of the differences in
behavior between the two backends, and thus am providing these before the
implementation.

Changes since v1:

 * Minor tweak to test_expect_merge_algorithm() suggested by Junio
 * Updated a test for portability
 * I had meant to leave the final patch, patch 9, out of the submission.
   But, since I submitted it, update it to match my local version of that
   test with one additional thing checked in the result.

Elijah Newren (9):
  t/: new helper for tests that pass with ort but fail with recursive
  merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort
  t6416: correct expectation for rename/rename(1to2) + directory/file
  t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend
  t6423: expect improved conflict markers labels in the ort backend
  merge tests: expect slight differences in output for recursive vs. ort
  t6423, t6436: note improved ort handling with dirty files
  t6423: note improved ort handling with untracked files
  t6423: add more details about direct resolution of directories
