PATCH 1/1 merge-ort: turn submodule conflict suggestions into an advice

From: Philippe Blain <[email protected]>

Add a new advice type 'submoduleMergeConflict' for the error message shown when a non-trivial submodule conflict is encountered, which was added in 4057523a40 (submodule merge: update conflict error message, 2022-08-04). That commit mentions making this message an advice as possible future work.

Update the tests as the expected message now appears on stderr instead of stdout.

Add a new advice type 'submoduleMergeConflict' for the error message shown when a non-trivial submodule conflict is encountered, which was added in 4057523a40 (submodule merge: update conflict error message, 2022-08-04).

When specifically called out like this, it makes it sound as if this one is disabled by default, while everybody else is enabled unless it is disabled.

Makes sense.

Yes, re-reading myself, this did not come out as I wanted. I'll update the message to read more like "Adjust merge-ort.c::print_submodule_conflict_suggestion to use the advice API" or something like this.

Thanks,
Philippe.

I've replaced the last sentence with """The message can now be disabled with the advice mechanism."""
