Change changelog to use merge=union

This adjusts the .gitattributes file to allow git to understand how to
better merge the changelog using merge=union.

> If there are conflicts, the user should edit the result and delete one of the alternatives. When --ours, --theirs, or --union option is in effect, however, these conflicts are resolved favouring lines from <current-file>, lines from <other-file>, or lines from both respectively. The length of the conflict markers can be given with the --marker-size option.

No idea if this will work on github dot com, but it may work on git
locally.
