merge-ort: add an err() function similar to one from merge-recursive

Various places in merge-recursive used an err() function when it hit
some kind of unrecoverable error.  That code was from the reusable bits
of merge-recursive.c that we liked, such as merge_3way, writing object
files to the object store, reading blobs from the object store, etc.  So
create a similar function to allow us to port that code over, and use it
for when we detect problems returned from collect_merge_info()'s
traverse_trees() call, which we will be adding next.

While we are at it, also add more documentation for the "clean" field
from struct merge_result, particularly since the name suggests a boolean
but it is not quite one and this is our first non-boolean usage.
