[RFC/WIP PATCH 1/3] rerere: avoid buffer overrun

[Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>]

check_one_conflict() compares `i` to `active_nr` in two places to avoid
buffer overruns, but left out an important third location.  This has
not previously been a problem, because existing merge strategies have
tended to not create entries at stage #1 that do not have a
corresponding entry at either stage #2 or stage #3.  However, this is
not guaranteed, so add a check to avoid segfaults.
