Implement cherrypick support for Merge3
When merging a cherrypick, use a slightly different resolve logic.
When encountering a conflict, the new logic does not include lines that
were present in BASE that are conflicting with OTHER.
This is done since a cherrypick is (by definition) avoiding changes that
are present in the base.

the THIS value, and the THIS value is generally the basis value.  So the

comparison is latent, but present.  The only issue is extracting it.
