resolve-undo: teach "update-index --unresolve" to use resolve-undo info
The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute the stage #1 information. There were several issues with this approach: - These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking at MERGE_HEAD; - For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either; - It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written, because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information. "diff --cc" that was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1. We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to solve all of these issues.
