Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary
flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default
enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to
replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff
index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by
accident.

That notice was added by me for the emergency documentation, but Junio
already expanded it to a full-fledged manual page. This patch removes
the notice.

Instead of having the user to edit the mail message, let the hand merge
result stored in .dotest/patch and continue, which is easier to manage.

The git-am script is nowhere called and nowhere (including itself)
explained, and the name isn't helpful either. For those like me who will
wonder what is it about, add some documentation stub for it to the
documentation.
I probably got something wrong and I don't feel like investigating all the
options - this is just kind of "emergency" docs.
