(first_same_file): Remove. Move most of the code to....
(avoid_trashing_input): New function.
(merge): Avoid some silly merges, e.g., copying a single file to
a temporary file when there are exactly 17 input files to merge.
Take a count of temporary files rather than a max_merge arg.
All uses changed.
