ll-merge: make callers responsible for showing warnings

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"
from ll-merge and instead modify the return status of ll_merge() to
indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred.  Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.

This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge().  Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.

There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.

Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them.  After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.
