t6042: Add a testcase where git deletes an untracked file

Current git will nuke an untracked file during a rename/delete conflict if
(a) there is an untracked file whose name matches the source of a rename
and (b) the merge is done in a certain direction.  Add a simple testcase
demonstrating this bug.
