rerere: use "struct rerere_id" instead of "char *" for conflict ID

This gives a thin abstraction between the conflict ID that is a hash
value obtained by inspecting the conflicts and the name of the
directory under $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/, in which the previous resolution
is recorded to be replayed.  The plan is to make sure that the
presence of the directory does not imply the presense of a previous
resolution and vice-versa, and later allow us to have more than one
pair of <preimage, postimage> for a given conflict ID.
