t7606 (merge-theirs): modernize style

Guard setup commands with test_expect_success, so they are easier
to visually skip over and get to the good part.  While at it:

 - use test_commit for brevity and reproducible object names;

 - use test_cmp instead of using the test builtin to compare the
   result of command substitution, for better output with -v on
   failure.
