059a3cffdfa596aa3adaace3f57fa86fdd3f80fc contrib: Detailed reporting for http errors in github-merge (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Three commits I had locally for `github-merge.py`:

  -  *Detailed reporting for http errors in github-merge*: Print detailed error, this makes it easier to diagnose github API issues.
  - *Add support for http[s] URLs in github-merge*: Sometimes it can be useful to use github-merge with read-only access (say, for reviewing and testing from untrusted VMs).
  - *Allow use of github API authentication in github-merge*: The API request limit for unauthenticated requests is quite low. I started running into rate limiting errors. The limit for authenticated requests is much higher. This patch adds an optional configuration setting `user.ghtoken` that, when set, is used to authenticate requests to the API.
