apply: add --continue/--skip/--abort
Rather than failing completely when git-am fails to apply a patch, write out our current state to git-am's temporary directory, and then tell the user to use "git bz apply --continue/--skip/--abort" after handling the merge failure. When the user uses one of those options, read back our state, pass the flag on to git-am, and (assuming git-am succeeds), continue with the next patch. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657558
