t4068: add --merge-base tests

Denton-L · gitster · commit df7dbab881c1 · 2020-09-20T21:30:26.000-07:00
In the future, we will be adding more --merge-base tests to this test
script. To prepare for that, rename the script accordingly and update
its description. Also, add two basic --merge-base tests that don't
require any functionality to be implemented yet.
