Previously, when fast-rebase hit a conflict, it simply aborted and left
HEAD, the index, and the working tree where they were before the
operation started. While fast-rebase does not support restarting from a
conflicted state, write the conflicted state out anyway as it gives us a
way to see what the conflicts are and write tests that check for them.
This will be important in the upcoming commits, because sequencer.c is
only superficially integrated with merge-ort.c; in particular, it calls
merge_switch_to_result() after EACH merge instead of only calling it at
the end of all the sequence of merges (or when a conflict is hit). This
not only causes needless updates to the working copy and index, but also
causes all intermediate data to be freed and tossed, preventing caching
information from one merge to the next. However, integrating
sequencer.c more deeply with merge-ort.c is a big task, and making this
small extension to fast-rebase.c provides us with a simple way to test
the edge and corner cases that we want to make sure continue working.
