merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation.  This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.

A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.
