fmt-merge-msg: discard needless merge parents

This is used by "git pull" to construct a merge message from list of
remote refs.  When pulling redundant set of refs, however, it did not
filter them even though the merge itself discards them as unnecessary.

Teach the command to do the same for consistency.
