[PATCH v2 5/6] branch: add branch.<name>.pruneMerged opt-out

["Harald Nordgren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

Setting branch.<name>.pruneMerged=false exempts that branch from
--prune-merged (and from fetch --prune-merged), even with --force.
Useful for keeping a topic branch around between rounds.

Explicit deletion via 'git branch -d' is unaffected.
