merge-recursive.c is built on the idea of running unpack_trees() and
then "doing minor touch-ups" to get the result. Unfortunately,
unpack_trees() was run in an update-as-it-goes mode, leading
merge-recursive.c to follow suit and end up with an immediate evaluation
and fix-it-up-as-you-go design. Some things like directory/file
conflicts are not well representable in the index data structure, and
required special extra code to handle. But then when it was discovered
that rename/delete conflicts could also be involved in directory/file
conflicts, the special directory/file conflict handling code had to be
copied to the rename/delete codepath. ...and then it had to be copied
for modify/delete, and for rename/rename(1to2) conflicts, ...and yet it
still missed some. Further, when it was discovered that there were also
file/submodule conflicts and submodule/directory conflicts, we needed to
copy the special submodule handling code to all the special cases
throughout the codebase.
And then it was discovered that our handling of directory/file conflicts
was suboptimal because it would create untracked files to store the
contents of the conflicting file, which would not be cleaned up if
someone were to run a 'git merge --abort' or 'git rebase --abort'. It
was also difficult or scary to try to add or remove the index entries
corresponding to these files given the directory/file conflict in the
index. But changing merge-recursive.c to handle these correctly was a
royal pain because there were so many sites in the code with similar but
not identical code for handling directory/file/submodule conflicts that
would all need to be updated.
I have worked hard to push all directory/file/submodule conflict
handling in merge-ort through a single codepath, and avoid creating
untracked files for storing tracked content (it does record things at
alternate paths, but makes sure they have higher-order stages in the
index).
Since updating merge-recursive is too much work and we don't want to
destabilize it, instead update the testsuite to have different
expectations for relevant directory/file/submodule conflict tests.

There are a number of tests that the "recursive" backend does not handle
correctly but which the redesign in "ort" will. Add a new helper in
lib-merge.sh for selecting a different test expectation based on the
setting of GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM, and use it in various testcases to
document which ones we expect to fail under recursive but pass under
ort.

Much like the last commit accepted 'add/add' and 'rename/add'
interchangably, we also want to do the same for 'add/add' and
'rename/rename'. This also allows us to avoid the ambiguity in meaning
with 'rename/rename' (is it two separate files renamed to the same
location, or one file renamed on both sides but differently)?

merge-recursive treats an add/add conflict where one of the adds came
from a rename as a separate 'rename/add' type of conflict. However, if
there is not content conflict after the content merge(s), then the file
is not considered to be conflicted. That suggests the conflict type is
really just add/add. Other merge engines might choose to print messages
to the console that just refer to these as add/add conflicts; accept
both types of output.
Note: it could help to notify users if the three-way content merge of
the rename had content conflicts, because when we then go to two-way
merge THAT with the conflicting add we can get nested conflict markers.
merge-recursive, unfortunately, doesn't do that, but other merge engines
could.

This test had multiple issues causing it to fail for the wrong
reason(s):
* rename/rename(1to2) conflicts have always left the original source
path present in the working directory and index (at stage 1). Thus,
the triple rename/rename(1to2) should result in 9 unstaged files,
not 6.
* It messed up the three-way content merge for checking the results of
merging for one of the renames, accidentally turning it into a
two-way merge.
* It got the contents of the base files it was using to compare
against wrong, due to an off-by-one error, and overwrite-redirection
('>') instead of append-redirection ('>>').
* It used slightly too-long conflict markers
* It didn't include filenames in the conflict marker hunks (granted,
that was a shortcoming of the merge-recursive backend for rename/add
and rename/rename(2to1) conflicts, but since it's
test_expect_failure anyway we might as well make it expect our
preferred behavior rather than some compromise that we can't yet
reach anyway).
Fix these issues so that a merge backend which correctly handles these
kinds of nested conflicts will pass the test.

Apparently I don't know how to count untracked files, and since the
tests in question were marked as test_expect_failure, no one ever
noticed it until now. Correct the count, as these tests clearly create
three untracked files ('out', 'err', and 'file_count').
(I believe this problem arose because earlier incarnations counted lines
via a pipe to 'wc -l'. Reviewers asked that it be replaced by writing
the output to a file and using test_line_count, but when the temporary
output was added to a separate file, the count of untracked files should
have increased.)

The tests for the merge machinery are spread over several places.
Collect them into t64xx for simplicity. Some notes:
t60[234]*.sh:
Merge tests started in t602*, overgrew bisect and remote tracking
tests in t6030, t6040, and t6041, and nearly overtook replace tests
in t6050. This made picking out relevant tests that I wanted to run
in a tighter loop slightly more annoying for years.
t303*.sh:
These started out as tests for the 'merge-recursive' toplevel command,
but did not restrict to that and had lots of overlap with the
underlying merge machinery.
t7405, t7613:
submodule-specific merge logic started out in submodule.c but was
moved to merge-recursive.c in commit 18cfc08866 ("submodule.c: move
submodule merging to merge-recursive.c", 2018-05-15). Since these
tests are about the logic found in the merge machinery, moving these
tests to be with the merge tests makes sense.
t7607, t7609:
Having tests spread all over the place makes it more likely that
additional tests related to a certain piece of logic grow in all those
other places. Much like t303*.sh, these two tests were about the
underlying merge machinery rather than outer levels.
Tests that were NOT moved:
t76[01]*.sh:
Other than the four tests mentioned above, the remaining tests in
t76[01]*.sh are related to non-recursive merge strategies, parameter
parsing, and other stuff associated with the highlevel builtin/merge.c
rather than the recursive merge machinery.
t3[45]*.sh:
The rebase testcases in t34*.sh also test the merge logic pretty
heavily; sometimes changes I make only trigger failures in the rebase
tests. The rebase tests are already nicely coupled together, though,
and I didn't want to mess that up. Similar comments apply for the
cherry-pick tests in t35*.sh.
