Introduce query change query option SKIP_MERGEABLE
With this option, the mergeable field is not set. For chromium, the
cached data for this field is frequently out of date, and recomputing
it costs several seconds. This change allows the UI to populate the
'submit' button asynchronously, thereby speeding up the page load.
