Merge branch 'bm/merge-base-octopus-dedup' into maint

"git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal
result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself.

* bm/merge-base-octopus-dedup:
  merge-base --octopus: reduce the result from get_octopus_merge_bases()
  merge-base: separate "--independent" codepath into its own helper
