[PATCH v3 1/4] merge-options.txt: correct typo

From
Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>
Date

<1076d4c45108b1edad48fcac0f203c8c4e521b79.1551951770.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

The scissors line is included after the human commit message. Therefore, saying "scissors will be prepended" was incorrect. Update to say "appended" which is more correct.

Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>

Notes:
    Note that this can be squashed into 6f06b6aeef (merge: add scissors line on
    merge conflict, 2019-01-22) if it makes life easier.
