merge-recursive: use subtraction to flip stage

The flip_stage() helper uses a bit-flipping xor to switch between "2" and "3". While clever, this relies on a property of those two numbers that is mostly coincidence. Let's write it as a subtraction; that's more clear and would extend to other numbers if somebody copies the logic.
