revert.c: defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till it is safe to do so

do_pick_commit() writes out CHERRY_PICK_HEAD before invoking merge (either
via do_recursive_merge() or try_merge_command()) on the assumption that if
the merge fails it is due to conflict. However, if the tree is dirty, the
merge may not even start, aborting before do_pick_commit() can remove
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.

Instead, defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till after merge has returned.
At this point we know the merge has either succeeded or failed due
to conflict. In either case, we want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to be written
so that it may be picked up by the subsequent invocation of commit.

Note that do_recursive_merge() aborts if the merge cannot start, while
try_merge_command() returns a non-zero value other than 1.
