merge-ort: have ll_merge() use a special attr_index for renormalization

ll_merge() needs an index when renormalization is requested.  Create one
specifically for just this purpose with just the one needed entry.  This
fixes t6418.4 and t6418.5 under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort.

NOTE 1: Even if the user has a working copy or a real index (which is
not a given as merge-ort can be used in bare repositories), we
explicitly ignore any .gitattributes file from either of these
locations.  merge-ort can be used to merge two branches that are
unrelated to HEAD, so .gitattributes from the working copy and current
index should not be considered relevant.

NOTE 2: Since we are in the middle of merging, there is a risk that
.gitattributes itself is conflicted...leaving us with an ill-defined
situation about how to perform the rest of the merge.  It could be that
the .gitattributes file does not even exist on one of the sides of the
merge, or that it has been modified on both sides.  If it's been
modified on both sides, it's possible that it could itself be merged
cleanly, though it's also possible that it only merges cleanly if you
use the right version of the .gitattributes file to drive the merge.  It
gets kind of complicated.  The only test we ever had that attempted to
test behavior in this area was seemingly unaware of the undefined
behavior, but knew the test wouldn't work for lack of attribute handling
support, marked it as test_expect_failure from the beginning, but
managed to fail for several reasons unrelated to attribute handling.
See commit 6f6e7cfb52 ("t6038: remove problematic test", 2020-08-03) for
details.  So there are probably various ways to improve what
initialize_attr_index() picks in the case of a conflicted .gitattributes
but for now I just implemented something simple -- look for whatever
.gitattributes file we can find in any of the higher order stages and
use it.
