set status check on merge

Changed

• Kodiak now sets a status check on merge ("merge complete 🎉"). Previously the last status check set by Kodiak would be unchanged ("⛴ attempting to merge PR (merging)"). (#469)

a better merge.method default

Changed

• merge.method now defaults to the first valid merge method in the list "merge", "squash", and "rebase". Previously the default was always "merge", even when that method was disabled on a repository. See the configuration reference for more information. (#464, #466)

Added
