[PATCH v4 3/3] Don't expand CRLFs when normalizing text during merge

[Eyvind Bernhardsen <eyvind.bernhardsen@gmail.com>]

Disable CRLF expansion when convert_to_working_tree() is called from
normalize_buffer().  This improves performance when merging branches
with conflicting line endings when core.eol=crlf or core.autocrlf=true
by making the normalization act as if core.eol=lf.
