checkout -m: attempt merge when deletion of path was staged

twoway_merge() is missing an o->gently check in the case where a file
that needs to be modified is missing from the index but present in the
old and new trees.  As a result, in this case 'git checkout -m' errors
out instead of trying to perform a merge.

Fix it by checking o->gently.  While at it, inline the o->gently check
into reject_merge to prevent future call sites from making the same
mistake.

Noticed by code inspection.  The test for the motivating case was
added by JC.
