[PATCH v2 1/3] git-am.txt: clarify --abort behavior

From: Elijah Newren <redacted>

Both Johannes and I assumed (perhaps due to familiarity with rebase)
that am --abort would return the user to a clean state.  However, since
am, unlike rebase, is intended to be used within a dirty working tree,
--abort will only clean the files involved in the am operation.
