Documentation: suggest reset --merge in How Merge Works section

Browse Source 
The 'merge' manual suggests 'reset' to cancel a merge at the end
of the Merge Strategies list.  It is more logical to explain this
right before explaining how merge conflicts work, so the daunted
reader can have a way out when he or she needs it most.

While at it, make the advice more dependable and self-contained
by providing the --merge option.
