Should git-am terminate unexpectedly between the point where the state directory is created, but the "next" and "last" files are not written yet, a stray state directory will be left behind. As such, since b141f3c (am: handle stray $dotest directory, 2013-06-15), git-am.sh explicitly recognizes such a stray directory, and allows the user to remove it with am --abort. Re-implement this feature in builtin/am.c.
