[0/1] And so it begins...merge/rename performance work

This depends on a merge of en/ort-conflict-handling, en/diffcore-rename,
and en/ort-directory-rename.

This series begins the performance work for merge-ort and
diffcore-rename.  This series only has one patch and all it does is add
trace2_region enter/leave pairs -- but it comes with a lengthy commit
message detailing my driving testcases, the current status, and my
plans.  Part of the point of the lengthy testcase description is it will
allow me to repeatedly refer to it in subsequent series' commit messages
with a paragraph of the form:

    For the testcases mentioned in commit 9542932eee ("merge-ort: begin
    performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
    this change improves the performance as follows:
    
                                  Before                  After
          no-renames:       12.975 s ±  0.037 s    12.904 s ±  0.069 s
          mega-renames:   5154.338 s ± 19.139 s  1670.582 s ±  0.904 s
          just-one-mega:   146.703 s ±  0.852 s    48.149 s ±  0.306 s
