/**
@brief Merge two materials
@m_since_latest

Takes attributes from @p second and inserts them to layers of the same index in
@p first. If @p second has more layers than @p first, the additional layers are
added at the end of @p first. @ref Trade::MaterialTypes from @p first and
@p second are merged together. If both materials contain an attribute of the
same name in the same layer index, conflict resolution is performed according
to the @p conflicts option.

As the input materials have the attributes sorted already, the operation is
done in an @f$ \mathcal{O}(m + n) @f$ execution time and memory complexity,
with @f$ m @f$ and @f$ n @f$ being count of all attributes and layers in
@p first and @p second, respectively.
