merge: merge file flags together with file content

The 'x' flag and the 'l' flag are very different. It is usually not a problem
to change the 'x' flag of a normal file independent of the content, but one
does not simply change the type of a file to 'l' independent of the content.

This removes the fmerge function that merged both 'x' and 'l' independent of
content early in the merge process. This correctly introduces some conflicts
instead of silent incorrect merges. 3-way flag merge will now be done in the
resolve process, right next to file content merge. Conflicts can thus be
resolved with (slightly inconvenient) resolve commands like 'resolve f --tool
internal:other'. It thus brings us closer to be able to re-solve manifest merge
after the merge and avoid prompts during merge.

This also removes the "conflicting flags for a - (n)one, e(x)ec or sym(l)ink?"
prompt that nobody could answer and that made it easy to mix symlink targets
and file contents up. Instead it will give a file merge where a sufficiently
clever merge tool can help resolving the issue.
