merge: deprecate the --force option

The --force option in merge does not make what people think it does so
it may not be visible to everyone.

I have local changes and want to pull one's changes which made 2 heads.
The --force option in help says

 -f --force      force a merge with outstanding changes

so I can expect that I can use it to force the merge and commit it in my
local repository without taking my local changes into account. But
merging with -f keeps local changes and "add" them: they must be
committed or reverted before doing the merge commit. The merge -f cannot
be reverted so it leads my repository in a bad state: cannot commit
merge and don't want to revert/commit local changes yet.

Message in help have been updated to emphasize the fact that local
changes are included in the merge.
