[PATCH v2 1/2] git-am: emit usage when called w/o arguments and w/o patch on stdin

When git am is called w/o arguments, w/o a patch on stdin and the user hits ctrl-c, it leaves behind a partially populated $dotest directory. After this commit, it emits usage when called w/o arguments and w/o a patch on stdin.

Also ensure that $dotest is cleaned up if user manages to interupt mailsplit while it is processing input, but not if mailsplit exits non-zero due to error.
