Allow disabling the advice shown when a squencer operation results in a
merge conflict through a new config 'advice.sequencerConflict'.
We already have "advice.resolveConflict" to suppress conflict advice. 
Can we extend that to these conflict messages rather than introducing a 
new category? As far as the user is concerned they are all messages 
about resolving conflicts - I don't really see why they'd want to 
suppress the messages from "git merge" separately to "git rebase" (and 
if they do then why is it ok to suppress the messages from "git merge", 
"git rebase" and "git cherry-pick" with a single setting). It would also 
be good to update the "rebase --apply" implementation to respect this 
advice config to be consistent with "rebase --merge".

Best Wishes

Update the tests accordingly. Note that the body of the second test in
t3507-cherry-pick-conflict.sh is enclosed in double quotes, so we must
escape them in the added line.
