[PATCH 03/14] xdl_merge(): add optional ancestor label to diff3-style output

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

The ‘git checkout --conflict=diff3’ command can be used to
present conflicts hunks including text from the common ancestor:

	<<<<<<< ours
	ourside
	|||||||
	original
	=======
	theirside
	>>>>>>> theirs

The added information is helpful for resolving merges by hand, and
merge tools can usually grok it because it is very similar to the
output from diff3 -m.

A subtle change can help more tools to understand the output.  ‘diff3’
includes the name of the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and some tools misparse the conflict hunks without it.  Add a new
xmp->ancestor parameter to xdl_merge() for use with conflict style
XDL_MERGE_DIFF3 as a label on the ||||||| line for any conflict hunks.

If xmp->ancestor is NULL, the output format is unchanged.  Thus, this
change only provides unexposed plumbing for the new feature; it does
not affect the outward behavior of git.

Small stylistic change:

	const char *const ancestor_name = xmp->ancestor;

as suggested in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/142374/focus=142393>.
