merge-resolve: abort if index does not match HEAD

Browse source 
As noted in commit 9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before
invoking merge machinery, round N", 2019-08-17), we have had a very
long history of problems with failing to enforce the requirement that
index matches HEAD when starting a merge.  One of the commits
referenced in the long tale of issues arising from lax enforcement of
this requirement was commit 55f39cf755 ("merge: fix misleading
pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30), which tried to document
the requirement and noted there were some exceptions.  As mentioned in
that commit message, the `resolve` strategy was the one strategy that
did not have an explicit index matching HEAD check, and the reason it
didn't was that I wasn't able to discover any cases where the
implementation would fail to catch the problem and abort, and didn't
want to introduce unnecessary performance overhead of adding another
check.

Well, today I discovered a testcase where the implementation does not
catch the problem and so an explicit check is needed.  Add a testcase
that previously would have failed, and update git-merge-resolve.sh to
have an explicit check.  Note that the code is copied from 3ec62ad9ff
("merge-octopus: abort if index does not match HEAD", 2016-04-09), so
that we reuse the same message and avoid making translators need to
translate some new message.
