git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntax
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a
rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also
document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts.
There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the
current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using,
and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.
