add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch mode
When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there are other changes to stage (in which case you get the superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes"). The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and print a warning that we are ignoring them. We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding "--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run. There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX' field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places, since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw entry).
