Subject: [PATCH] Generic jQuery.merge and safer jQuery.makeArray(nodeList).

* Made jQuery.marge more generic supporting null and undefined values, and supporting array like objects as results. Fixes #5527.

* Made jQuery.makeArray(nodeList) more safer using jQuery.merge internally. Fixes #5528.

* Added a second "results" argument to jQuery.makeArray for internal usage to avoid intermediary arrays in init.
