simplemerge: add 'mode' kwarg which - when 'union' - suppresses markers

simplemerge: add 'mode' kwarg which - when 'union' - suppresses markers

This is a step toward adding 'union merge' to the internal merge tool.

'union merge' is a merge strategy which adds both left and right hand side
of a conflict region.  Git implements this merge strategy which is very
practical to have for merging to e.g. the Changelog file.

Note: the identifiers with underscores in this commit are all using existing
   variable names and/or keyword arguments.
