SZEDER Gábor efb779f887 merge, pull: add '--(no-)log' command line option
These are the command line option equivalents of the 'merge.log' config
variable.

The patch also updates documentation and bash completion accordingly, and
adds a test.

--stat::
Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
-n, \--no-stat::
Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
--summary, \--no-summary::
Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
--log::
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
merged.
--no-log::
Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
merged.
--no-commit::
Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
further tweak the merge result before committing.
--commit::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --no-commit.
--squash::
Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
--no-squash::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --squash.
--no-ff::
Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
fast-forward.
--ff::
Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
the default behavior of git-merge.
-s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
