ll_union_merge(): pass name labels to ll_xdl_merge()

Since cd1d61c (make union merge an xdl merge favor, 2010-03-01), we
pass NULL to ll_xdl_merge() for the "name" labels of the ancestor, ours
and theirs buffers. We usually use these for annotating conflict markers
left in a file. For a union merge, these shouldn't matter; the point of
it is that we'd never leave conflict markers in the first place.

But there is one code path where we may dereference them: if the file
contents appear to be binary, ll_binary_merge() will give up and pass
them to warning() to generate a message for the user (that was true even
when cd1d61c was written, though the warning was in ll_xdl_merge()
back then).

That can result in a segfault, though on many systems (including glibc),
the printf routines will helpfully just say "(null)" instead. We can
extend our binary-union test in t6406 to check stderr, which catches the
problem on all systems.

This also fixes a warning from "gcc -O3". Unlike lower optimization
levels, it inlines enough to see that the NULL can make it to warning()
and complains:
