Justin Frankel 58a1ece478 merge-recursive --patience
Teach the merge-recursive strategy a --patience option to use the
"patience diff" algorithm, which tends to improve results when
cherry-picking a patch that reorders functions at the same time as
refactoring them.

To support this, struct merge_options and ll_merge_options gain an
xdl_opts member, so programs can use arbitrary xdiff flags (think
"XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge.

git merge and git rebase can be passed the -Xpatience option to
use this.

[jn: split from --ignore-space patch; with documentation]
