* Calling sequence:

*
* - Prepare a `struct ll_merge_options` to record options.
* If you have no special requests, skip this and pass `NULL`
* as the `opts` parameter to use the default options.
*
* - Allocate an mmbuffer_t variable for the result.
*
* - Allocate and fill variables with the file's original content
* and two modified versions (using `read_mmfile`, for example).
*
* - Call `ll_merge()`.
*
* - Read the merged content from `result_buf.ptr` and `result_buf.size`.
*
* - Release buffers when finished. A simple
* `free(ancestor.ptr); free(ours.ptr); free(theirs.ptr);
* free(result_buf.ptr);` will do.
*
* If the modifications do not merge cleanly, `ll_merge` will return a
* nonzero value and `result_buf` will generally include a description of
* the conflict bracketed by markers such as the traditional `<<<<<<<`
* and `>>>>>>>`.
*
* The `ancestor_label`, `our_label`, and `their_label` parameters are
* used to label the different sides of a conflict if the merge driver
* supports this.
