[PATCH 09/12] rebase -r: support merge strategies other than `recursive`

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

We already support merge strategies in the sequencer, but only for
`pick` commands.

With this commit, we now also support them in `merge` commands. The
approach is simple: if any merge strategy option is specified, or if any
merge strategy other than `recursive` is specified, we simply spawn the
`git merge` command. Otherwise, we handle the merge in-process just as
before.
