Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.

The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.

The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)
