When people accidentally upload merge commits, things can get very confusing.

See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/80483

Gerrit gets confused because it can't rebase the patch, because the merged
commit is already applied, etc.  Jenkins also seems to fail.  So the result is
a patch that can never be merged.

We should just make 'git review' fail with a sensible error if the user tries
to upload a merge commit.
