revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pick

After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick
HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more
familiar territory.  Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command
that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the
repository back on solid ground.

Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset
--merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are
preserved.
