merge: enable progress reporting for rename detection
The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new --progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2). This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating it.
