write_merge_state() writes out the merge heads, mode, and msg. But we may want to write out heads, mode without the msg. So, split out heads (+mode) into a separate function write_merge_heads() that is called by write_merge_state(). No funtional change so far, except when these non-atomic writes are interrupted: we write heads-mode-msg now when we used to write heads-msg-mode.
