git-am.txt: clarify --abort behavior
Both Johannes and I assumed (perhaps due to familiarity with rebase)
that am --abort would return the user to a clean state. However, since
am, unlike rebase, is intended to be used within a dirty working tree,
--abort will only clean the files involved in the am operation.
