merge-ort: add implementation of rename collisions
Implement rename/rename(2to1) and rename/add handling, i.e. a file is renamed into a location where another file is added (with that other file either being a plain add or itself coming from a rename). Note that rename collisions can also have a special case stacked on top: the file being renamed on one side of history is deleted on the other (yielding either a rename/add/delete conflict or perhaps a rename/rename(2to1)/delete[/delete]) conflict. One thing to note here is that when there is a double rename, the code in question only handles one of them at a time; a later iteration through the loop will handle the other. After they've both been handled, process_entry()'s normal add/add code can handle the collision. This code replaces the following from merge-recurisve.c: * all the 2to1 code in process_renames() * the RENAME_TWO_FILES_TO_ONE case of process_entry() * handle_rename_rename_2to1() * handle_rename_add() Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or other rename cases): * handle_file_collision() * setup_rename_conflict_info() The consolidation of six separate codepaths into one is made possible by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then handle all the non-rename conflict types (directory/file, modify/delete, etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see commits brought in by 66c62eaec6 ("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'", 2020-11-18), especially commit ef52778708 ("merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details). That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically simplifies the code for various special rename cases.
