After you find out an earlier resolution you told rerere to use was a
mismerge, there is no easy way to clear it. A new subcommand "forget" can
be used to tell git to forget a recorded resolution, so that you can redo
the merge from scratch.

The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation
that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to
end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must
have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute
the stage #1 information.
There were several issues with this approach:
- These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from
commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking
at MERGE_HEAD;
- For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the
same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either;
- It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written,
because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review
conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information. "diff --cc" that
was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1.
We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to
solve all of these issues.

Once you resolved conflicts by "git add path", you cannot recreate the
conflicted state with "git checkout -m path", because you lost information
from higher stages in the index when you resolved them.
Since we record the necessary information in the resolve-undo index
extension these days, we can reproduce the unmerged state in the index and
check it out.

At the Porcelain level, operations such as merge that populate an
initially cleanly merged index with conflicted entries clear the
resolve-undo information upfront. Give scripted Porcelains a way
to do the same, by implementing "update-index --clear-resolve-info".
With this, a scripted Porcelain may "update-index --clear-resolve-info"
first and repeatedly run "update-index --cacheinfo" to stuff unmerged
entries to the index, to be resolved by the user with "git add" and
stuff.

Make sure that resolving a failed merge with git add records
the conflicted state, committing the result keeps that state,
and checking out another commit clears the state.
"git ls-files" learns a new option --resolve-undo to show the
recorded information.
