In contrast to "git am --abort", a sequencer abort did not check
whether the current HEAD is the one that is expected. This can
lead to loss of work (when not spotted and resolved using reflog
before the garbage collector chimes in).
This behavior is now changed by mimicking "git am --abort":
the abortion is done but HEAD is not changed when the current HEAD
is not the expected HEAD.
A new file "sequencer/current" is added to save the expected HEAD.
The new behavior is only active when --abort is invoked on multiple
picks. The problem does not occur for the single-pick case because
it is handled differently.
