We document how `merge.suppressDest` can be used to omit " into <branch
name>" from the title of the merge message. It is true that we omit the
space character before "into", but that lone double quote character
risks ending up on the wrong side of a line break, looking a bit out of
place. This currently happens with, e.g., 80-character terminals.
Drop that leading quoted space. The result should be just as clear about
how this option affects the formatted message.

In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the
default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into
'master'" at the end of the message.
Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.

Note that this file is not directly included in config.txt but through
merge-config.txt and it's in "merge" section instead of a separate
"fmtMergeMsg" section like others.
