Subject: [PATCH] fix(issue): show merged pull requests as merged in issue
 lists and search

issue list --kind all, milestone issue list and search pr reported a
merged pull request as closed. Their state is now merged, in tables and
in JSON, which also tells issues and pull requests apart by kind.
