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.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
