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.
(related to bug #151731)
