pull: implement pulling into an unborn branch
b4dc085 (pull: merge into unborn by fast-forwarding from empty tree, 2013-06-20) established git-pull's current behavior of pulling into an unborn branch by fast-forwarding the work tree from an empty tree to the merge head, then setting HEAD to the merge head. Re-implement this behavior by introducing pull_into_void() which will be called instead of run_merge() if HEAD is invalid.
