merge-ort: let renormalization change modify/delete into clean delete

When we have a modify/delete conflict, but the only change to the
modification is e.g. change of line endings, then if renormalization is
requested then we should be able to recognize such a case as a
not-modified/delete and resolve the conflict automatically.

This fixes t6418.10 under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort.
