sequencer: be more careful with external merge

If an external merge strategy cannot merge (for example because it
would overwrite an untracked file) it exits with a non-zero exit
code other than 1. This should be treated differently to a merge
with conflicts which is signalled by an exit code of 1 because as
the merge failed we need to reschedule the last pick. The caller
expects us to return -1 in this case. Also reschedule without trying
to merge if the commit message cannot be written as that prevents us
from successfully picking the commit.
