flags: introduce explicit testing for merging change to exec flag

It turns out that we do not seems to test the simple case for merging exec flag
changes. More advanced case are test (merging exec flag without a common
ancestors, merging with a symlink, etc…) but not the basic.

We are about introduce various fixes to merging flag change across renames,
having  the most basic case tested first seems useful.

note: We are only testing "adding" an exec flag here, not removing it. We
introduce basic test on stable and will consolidate them on default.
