what

Implemented flag which allows to specify merge method for the VCS (GitHub only for now) in automerge process.

atlantis apply --auto-merge-method merge
atlantis apply --auto-merge-method rebase
atlantis apply --auto-merge-method squash

why

In our company, Atlantis is used not only by DevOps/SRE/Ops engineers, but also by many developers from other teams. They have a different style of git commit messages, a different way of dividing code changes into commits. Sometimes we need to ask them to squash commits/rewrite the commit message.

This causes problems - after first review, the developers force changes (squash commits/rewrite the commit message), and then start the second atlantis plan, which must be reviewed a second time. Squash fixes this because the result commit message is a PR header that can be changed without any changes to the git history.

In the old logic, all methods except squash can be disabled, and this will fix the previous case, but maintenance engineers often work with a large task where a single pull request contains several independent commits that can be revert after merging into master.

Thus, these two cases conflict with each other, because we need to use different merge strategies in different situations.
This can be fixed if any flag is able to control the merge method for automerge function.

tests

I have tested my changes by extend TestGithubClient_MergePullCorrectMethod. Added tests in which the --auto-merge-method flag has the correct value, where correct value is not allowed and where value is not correct.

I think this option should be called automerge-method rather than merge-method to be clear that it is the method to be used for an auto-merge and not a normal merge.

Thanks @a1k0u. I've tested this on GitHub and it is working as expected, and on GitLab it is showing the correct error message.

Just some minor refinement to the error messages and we are good to go.
