Merge commits cannot be cherry-picked unless a mainline is specified. In other to add the skip merge commit behavior as an input, we need to have a way to remove the merge commits from the shas to cherry pick. We can use git rev-list --merged to list the merge commits in a commit range. Since we don't have a range but an array of commits, we can build the shorthand for the range as the `first^..last`.
We must keep the behavior similar for users that haven't configured to skip merge commits. However, we can help the user by informing them why the backport failed and what they can do to recover. Especially, nudging the user towards the new config option to skip merge commits.
Adds the ability to configure skipping or failing merge commits. Note that this does not yet add an input to set this configuration.
Used to set the commits.merge_commits config setting which either fails the backport when the action encounters merge commits on the merged pull request, or skips any merge commits when cherry-picking. Misconfiguration fails the workflow run because this requires attention from the workflow owner. The fail setting fails the backport as described in the README, i.e. the action reports on its success or failure through a comment on the merged pull request. Perhaps in a future version I'll support failing the workflow run on failing a backport, but for now I'll keep that out of scope.
