Add merge_algorithm column (Undecided, Horizontal, Vertical) to system.part_log. #39181 (Azat Khuzhin).
Added a new merge_algorithm column to the system.part_log table to indicate the type of merge algorithm used (Undecided, Horizontal, Vertical).

Why it matters

This feature provides users with detailed insight into the merge process of parts by exposing the merge algorithm type. It helps in monitoring and troubleshooting merges by distinguishing between different merge strategies.

How to use it

Query the system.part_log table to view the new merge_algorithm column alongside other part log information to identify which merge algorithm was applied for each merge operation.
