[PATCH 10/12] checkout: allow ignoring unmerged paths when checking out of the index

Earlier we made "git checkout $pathspec" to atomically refuse the operation of $pathspec matched any path with unmerged stages. This patch allows:

    $ git checkout -f a b c

to ignore, instead of error out on, such unmerged paths. The fix to prevent checkout of an unmerged path from random stages is still there.
