[v5,08/12] merge-tree: provide a list of which files have conflicts

Commit Message

From: Elijah Newren <[e-mail]>

Callers of `git merge-tree --write-tree` will often want to know which
files had conflicts.  While they could potentially attempt to parse the
CONFLICT notices printed, those messages are not meant to be machine
readable.  Provide a simpler mechanism of just printing the files (in
the same format as `git ls-files` with quoting, but restricted to
unmerged files) in the output before the free-form messages.
