merge: document checkignored and checkunknown configs again These options were undocumented for 3.7 because of an issue found during the freeze (see rev 7cb7264cfd52). This issue has now been fixed, so we can document these options again.

+``merge``
+---------
+
+This section specifies behavior during merges and updates.
+
+``checkignored``
+   Controls behavior when an ignored file on disk has the same name as a tracked
+   file in the changeset being merged or updated to, and has different
+   contents. Options are ``abort``, ``warn`` and ``ignore``. With ``abort``,
+   abort on such files. With ``warn``, warn on such files and back them up as
+   .orig. With ``ignore``, don't print a warning and back them up as
+   .orig. (default: ``abort``)
+
+``checkunknown``
+   Controls behavior when an unknown file that isn't ignored has the same name
+   as a tracked file in the changeset being merged or updated to, and has
+   different contents. Similar to ``merge.checkignored``, except for files that
+   are not ignored. (default: ``abort``)
