The -Xours/-Xtheirs merge options were originally defined as a way
to "force" the resolution of 3way textual merge conflicts to take
one side without using your editor, hence did not even trigger in
situations where you would normally not get the <<< === >>> conflict
markers.
This was improved for binary files back in 2012 with a944af1d
("merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driver",
2012-09-08).
Teach a similar trick to the codepath that deals with merging two
conflicting changes to symbolic links.

The built-in "binary" attribute macro expands to "-diff -text", so
that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go
through any CR/LF conversion ever. During a merge, it should also
choose the "binary" low-level merge driver, but it didn't.
Make it expand to "-diff -merge -text".

The (discouraged) -Xours/-Xtheirs modes of merge are supposed to
give a quick and dirty way to come up with a random mixture of
cleanly merged parts and punted conflict resolution to take contents
from one side in conflicting parts. These options however were only
passed down to the low level merge driver for text.
Teach the built-in binary merge driver to notice them as well.

test_must_fail will account for segfaults in git, so it should be used
instead of "! git"
This patch does not change any of the commands that use pipes.

This needs the usual sq then eval trick to allow IFS characters
in the option.

Teach "-X <option>" command line argument to "git merge" that is passed to
strategy implementations. "ours" and "theirs" autoresolution introduced
by the previous commit can be asked to the recursive strategy.
