In the upcoming patch to clean up fixup/squash commit messages even when
skipping a final fixup/squash that failed with merge conflicts, we will
need to have some indicator what happened.

As we need to remove the message-fixup and message-squash files upon
failure, we cannot use those. So let's just write an explicit amend-type
file, containing either `fixup` or `squash`. The absence of that file
indicates that the we were not in the middle of a fixup or squash when
merge conflicts were happening.
