merge: detect delete/modechange conflict
If one side deletes a file and the other changes its
content, we notice and report a conflict. However, if
instead of changing the content, we change only the mode,
the merge does not notice (and the mode change is silently
dropped).
The trivial index merge notices the problem and correctly
leaves the conflict in the index, but both merge-recursive
and merge-one-file will silently resolve this in favor of
the deletion. In many cases that is a sane resolution, but
we should be punting to the user whenever there is any
question. So let's detect and treat this as a conflict (in
both strategies).
