merge-ort: add implementation of type-changed rename handling

Implement cases where renames are involved in type changes (i.e. the side of history that didn't rename the file changed its type from a regular file to a symlink or submodule). There was some code to handle this in merge-recursive but only in the special case when the renamed file had no content changes. The code here works differently -- it knows process_entry() can handle mode conflicts, so it does a few minimal tweaks to ensure process_entry() can just finish the job as needed.

783 + * if type_changed && collision are both true, then this

786 + * something like
787 + * orig: has normal file 'foo'
788 + * side1: renames 'foo' to 'bar', adds 'foo' symlink
789 + * side2: renames 'foo' to 'bar'
790 + * In this case, the foo->bar rename on side1 won't be
791 + * detected because the new symlink named 'foo' is
792 + * there and we don't do break detection. But we detect
793 + * this here because we don't want to merge the content
794 + * of the foo symlink with the foo->bar file, so we
795 + * have some logic to handle this special case. The
796 + * easiest way to do that is make 'bar' on side1 not
797 + * be considered a colliding file but the other part
798 + * of a normal rename. If the file is very different,
799 + * well we're going to get content merge conflicts
800 + * anyway so it doesn't hurt. And if the colliding
801 + * file also has a different type, that'll be handled
802 + * by the content merge logic in process_entry() too.
