merge,rebase,revert: select ort or recursive by config or environment

Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).

Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting.  It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead.  Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there.  Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.

This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.
