[PATCH/WIP v2 16/19] am: exit with user friendly message on patch failure

[Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>]

Since ced9456 (Give the user a hint for how to continue in the case that
git-am fails because it requires user intervention, 2006-05-02), git-am
prints additional information on how the user can re-invoke git-am to
resume patch application after resolving the failure. Re-implement this
through the die_user_resolve() function.

Since cc12005 (Make git rebase interactive help match documentation.,
2006-05-13), git-am supports the --resolvemsg option which is used by
git-rebase to override the message printed out when git-am fails.
Re-implement this option.
