Update git-merge documentation.
Add "Configuration" section to describe merge.summary configuration variable (which is mentioned in git-fmt-merge-msg(1) man page, but it is a plumbing command), and merge.verbosity configuration variable (so there is a place to make reference from "Environment Variables" section of git(7) man page) to the git-merge(1) man page. Also describe GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY environment. The configuration variable merge.verbosity and environment variable GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY were introduced in commit 8c3275ab, which also documented configuration variable but not environment variable.

+
+merge.summary::
+ Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly
+ created merge commit. False by default.
+
+merge.verbosity::
+ Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
+ strategy. Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error
+ message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only
+ conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
+ above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
+ Can be overriden by 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
