merge: defer symlink flag merging to filemerge (issue3200)

Previously, we could change a normal file into a corrupt symlink when
trying to merge a symlink flag. Now, we leave the flag alone and let
filemerge deal with it (usually by a prompt).

We also drop a redundant flag setting after filemerge (now dealt with
by ms.resolve) that would cause similar corruption.
