The earlier modifier-rejection change rejected e/n/w on all rules, but rsync
3.4.1 accepts them (plus the '-' merge-only modifier) on merge and dir-merge
rules. Restrict the rejection to non-merge rules and consume the merge-file
modifiers (e/n/w/-) so they no longer leak into the merge filename.
- is_merge_rule()/is_merge_modifier_char() gate the merge-only modifiers.
- scan vs consume sets: e/n/w still count as modifier-run chars on every rule
(pure tokens like -new/-press stay rejected), but are only consumed on merge
rules, preserving mixed-token parsing such as H,!secret -> ecret.
- '-' is accepted/consumed only on merge/dir-merge (e.g. dir-merge,- .rules).
- x remains rejected everywhere with its dedicated message.
- e/n/w/- semantics remain unimplemented and are documented as accepted-but-
ignored in filter.h.
Tests: split the merge forms out of the rejection test into a new acceptance
test asserting the merge file is read and dir_merge_names keeps the modifier-
free basename; non-merge pure-modifier forms still rejected.
