revert: allow cherry-pick --continue to commit before resuming
When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator
to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for
"git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution
and carry on with the rest of the sequence.
This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue
was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered
conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd
--continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next.
Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick
foo bar baz":
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c
error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar!
hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git
add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the
sequence.
$ git cherry-pick --continue

This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single
commit.
