rerere: add note about files with existing conflict markers

Browse source 
When a file contains lines that look like conflict markers, 'git
rerere' may fail not be able to record a conflict resolution.
Emphasize that in the man page, and mention a possible workaround for
the issue.

'git rerere' will be run by 'git rebase' to help you resolve this
conflict.
[NOTE] 'git rerere' relies on the conflict markers in the file to
detect the conflict. If the file already contains lines that look the
same as lines with conflict markers, 'git rerere' may fail to record a
conflict resolution. To work around this, the `conflict-marker-size`
setting in linkgit:gitattributes[5] can be used.
