git-merge: honor pre-merge-commit hook

git-merge does not honor the pre-commit hook when doing automatic merge
commits, and for compatibility reasons this is going to stay.

Introduce a pre-merge-commit hook which is called for an automatic merge
commit just like pre-commit is called for a non-automatic merge commit
(or any other commit).

[js: * renamed hook from "pre-merge" to "pre-merge-commit"
     * only discard the index if the hook is actually present
     * expanded githooks documentation entry
     * clarified that hook should write messages to stderr
     * squashed test changes from the original series' patch 4/4
     * modified tests to follow new pattern from this series' patch 1/4
     * added a test case for non-executable merge hooks
     * added a test case for failed merges
     * when testing that the merge hook did not run, make sure we
       actually have a merge to perform (by resetting the "side" branch
       to its original state).
     * reworded commit message

+pre-merge-commit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-merge[1]. It takes no parameters, and is
+invoked after the merge has been carried out successfully and before
+obtaining the proposed commit log message to
+make a commit.  Exiting with a non-zero status from this script
+causes the `git merge` command to abort before creating a commit.
+
+The default 'pre-merge-commit' hook, when enabled, runs the
+'pre-commit' hook, if the latter is enabled.
+
+This hook is invoked with the environment variable
+`GIT_EDITOR=:` if the command will not bring up an editor
+to modify the commit message.
+
+If the merge cannot be carried out automatically, the conflicts
+need to be resolved and the result committed separately (see
+linkgit:git-merge[1]). At that point, this hook will not be executed,
+but the 'pre-commit' hook will, if it is enabled.
