Add a helper function for allocating, populating and attaching struct
merge_remote_desc to a commit and use it consistently.  It allocates the
necessary memory in a single block.

commit.c::get_merge_parent() forgot to check for memory allocation
failures of strdup(3).

merge-recursive.c::make_virtual_commit() didn't duplicate the string for
the name member, even though one of it's callers (indirectly through
get_ref()) may pass the result of oid_to_hex(), i.e. a static buffer.
