Add ziplistMerge()
This started out as #2158 by sunheehnus, but I kept rewriting it until I could understand things more easily and get a few more correctness guarantees out of the readability flow. The original commit created and returned a new ziplist with the contents of both input ziplists, but I prefer to grow one of the input ziplists and destroy the other one. So, instead of malloc+copy as in #2158, the merge now reallocs one of the existing ziplists and copies the other ziplist into the new space. Also added merge test cases to ziplistTest()
