[PATCH v5 19/44] builtin-am: implement --3way, am.threeWay

[Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>]

Since d1c5f2a (Add git-am, applymbox replacement., 2005-10-07),
git-am.sh supported the --3way option, and if set, would attempt to do a
3-way merge if the initial patch application fails.

Since d96a275 (git-am: add am.threeWay config variable, 2015-06-04), the
setting am.threeWay configures if the --3way option is set by default.

Since 5d86861 (am -3: list the paths that needed 3-way fallback,
2012-03-28), in a 3-way merge git-am.sh would list the paths that needed
3-way fallback, so that the user can review them more carefully to spot
mismerges.

Re-implement the above in builtin/am.c.
