Description
Right now, if someone updated a ghstack PR, and then you try to push to it without updating first, ghstack will just error out. If we supported ghstack pull that would result in a Git merge that would be better. We can just do the merge on the synthetic head branches, and then recreate a correct orig commit after it.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing ghstack push flow and the handling of synthetic head branches and orig commits. Done means ghstack pull can merge updates from an existing ghstack PR and recreate the correct orig commit without the current push failure.
