Merge branch 'en/no-amend-during-conflicts' into jch

Teach 'am', 'revert', and 'rebase' that running 'commit --amend' or a
partial 'commit <paths>' makes no sense during operations that stop
and return control to the user to resolve conflicts left in the
working tree, just like 'cherry-pick' and 'merge' do.

* en/no-amend-during-conflicts:
  commit: refuse partial commits during conflict resolution
  commit: refuse to amend during conflict resolution
  commit: reword the empty-commit rebase amend error
  commit: allow a partial commit when a rebase pick becomes empty
  commit: clarify FROM_REBASE_PICK and is_from_rebase() names
