got: improve reporting accuracy in branch listing output
As suggested by stsp, show the out-of-date symbol for the work tree branch if it is not only out of date in relation to the branch tip but also if it contains mixed commits. Update regress and add new test to check for this case. Also, explain the mixed commit condition of * and ~ markers denoting work tree state in got(1) branch -l docs. ok stsp@
got: enable more commands to accept commit keywords
More work adding commit keyword support to the blame, cat, ref, tag, and tree commands. With this, all Got commands that take a <commit> option argument or operand now support keywords. Regress flub saved by op! fixes + ok op@
expand support for commit keywords to more got commands
Add the ability to use keywords in the backout, branch, checkout, cherrypick, and patch commands. Includes some basic regress tests for the new commands, and also some more contrived test cases for 'got log -c[:]keyword[:(+|-)[N]]'. ok stsp
implement support for keywords as got <commit> arguments
This begins enabling the use of keywords in got wherever commit ids or references are used, with more work intended to expand support across all such instances (e.g., branch, checkout, etc.), and add more keywords. The keywords ":base" and ":head" can be passed to 'got {diff,log,update} -c' commands as a substitute for the corresponding commit hash id. Keywords and references can also be modified by appending a ':+' or ':-' and an optional integer N to specify by first parent traversal the Nth generation descendant or antecedent, respectively. If N is omitted, a '1' is implicitly appended. tweaks + ok op and stsp
abort histedit if the user quits the editor without saving the script
Also document that the commit/import/tag operations are aborted when the user fails to save the log message from the invoked editor. ok jamsek stsp
fix option processing for 'got merge'
Don't make -C imply -c (a break statement was missing). Detect -an and -cn conflicts. Simplify by removing unneeded check for conflicting -aC (since -C requires -c, we can rely on the -ac conflict being detected). Update the man page to say -cC is allowed.
make 'got add' more forgiving about unversioned paths on the command line
When users run 'got add *' the shell may pick up already versioned files and trigger errors about paths being in an unexpected status. Expand the check which previously only allowed files in added status to be double-added to cover the following status codes which are all safe to ignore: A M C m This should make bulk additions of files a bit easier in most cases.

Implement fast-forward merges.
Split part of got_worktree_merge_prepare into a new function, got_worktree_merge_write_refs, since that part doesn't make sense in the fast-forward case. ok stsp@
allow no-op merge commits to be created
