pkg-merge: Always submit a new MR, even with conflicts

Create a MR even when the local attempt to merge failed. In that case let the proposed updates branch point to the upstream branch and create a MR to submit it to the downstream branch.

This makes the failed updates more visbile and easier to track than the failed pipelines.
