[PATCH v11 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
"git branch --prune-merged". Useful for a topic branch you want
to develop further after an initial round has been merged
upstream.

Unless --quiet is given, the skip is reported per branch so the
user knows why their topic was preserved.

Explicit deletion via "git branch -d" continues to consult the
normal merge check and is not affected by this setting.
