am --skip/--abort: merge HEAD/ORIG_HEAD tree into index

After running "git am --abort", and then running "git reset --hard",
files that were not modified would still be re-checked out.

This is because clean_index() in builtin/am.c mistakenly called the
read_tree() function, which overwrites all entries in the index,
including the stat info.

"git am --skip" did not seem to have this issue because am_skip() called
am_run(), which called refresh_cache() to update the stat info. However,
there's still a performance penalty as the lack of stat info meant that
refresh_cache() would have to scan all files for changes.

Fix this by using unpack_trees() instead to merge the tree into the
index, so that the stat info from the index is kept.
