Empty merges per release

I know we decided to use cherry-picks to bring commits from past versions to 
master, but this has caused that the 4.5 and 4.6 commits are never in the past 
history of master.

I recommend at least once, after a release, that the tag is merged back into 
master, using strategy "ours" if necessary.

This will make master report to be about a few hundred commits past the v4.6.1 
tag, instead of 3500 commits past v4.4.85.
