builtin/merge: honor commit-msg hook for merges
Similar to 65969d43d1 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) merge should also honor the commit-msg hook: When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the subsequent commit calls the commit-msg hook. However, it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency by invoking the hook after clean merges as well. This change is motivated by Gerrit's commit-msg hook to install a ChangeId trailer into the commit message. Without such a ChangeId, Gerrit refuses to accept any commit by default, such that the inconsistency of (not) running the commit-msg hook between commit and merge leads to confusion and might block people from getting their work done. As the githooks man page is very vocal about the possibility of skipping the commit-msg hook via the --no-verify option, implement the option in merge, too. 'git merge --continue' is currently implemented as calling cmd_commit with no further arguments. This works for most other merge related options, such as demonstrated via the --allow-unrelated-histories flag in the test. The --no-verify option however is not remembered across invocations of git-merge. Originally the author assumed an alternative in which the 'git merge --continue' command accepts the --no-verify flag, but that opens up the discussion which flags are allows to the continued merge command and which must be given in the first invocation.
