Drop merge commits (#4094)

- **PR Description**

Allow deleting a merge commit. We only allow this when the merge commit
is the only selected item, and only outside of a rebase. The reason for
this is that we don't show the "label" and "reset" todos in lazygit, so
deleting a merge commit would leave the commits from the branch that is
being merged in the list as "pick" commits, with no indication that they
are going to be dropped because they are on a different branch, and the
merge commit that would have brought them in is gone. This could be very
confusing.

Fixes #3164.
