qga: Add `merged` variant to GuestExecCaptureOutputMode

Currently, any captured output (via `capture-output`) is segregated into
separate GuestExecStatus fields (`out-data` and `err-data`). This means
that downstream consumers have no way to reassemble the captured data
back into the original stream.

This is relevant for chatty and semi-interactive (ie. read only) CLI
tools.  Such tools may deliberately interleave stdout and stderr for
visual effect. If segregated, the output becomes harder to visually
understand.

This commit adds a new enum variant to the GuestExecCaptureOutputMode
qapi to merge the output streams such that consumers can have a pristine
view of the original command output.
