merge-ort: handle interactions of caching and rename/rename(1to1) cases

As documented in Documentation/technical/remembering-renames.txt, and as
tested for in the two testcases in t6429 with "rename same file
identically" in their description, there is one case where we need to
have renames in one commit NOT be cached for the next commit in our
rebase sequence -- namely, rename/rename(1to1) cases.  Rather than
specifically trying to uncache those and fix up dir_rename_counts() to
match (which would also be valid but more work), we simply disable the
optimization when this really rare type of rename occurs.
