[PATCH] Documentation: mention ORIG_HEAD in am, merge, and rebase

[Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com>]

Merge has always set ORIG_HEAD but never mentioned it, while we
recently added it to am and rebase.  These facts should be reflected
in the documentation.

git-reset also sets ORIG_HEAD, but that fact is already mentioned in
the very first example so no changes were needed there.
