[PATCH/RFC] git-am: Make it easier to see which patch failed

When git-am fails it's not always easy to see which patch failed, since it's often hidden by a lot of error messages. Add an extra line which prints the name of the failed patch just before the resolve message to make it easier to find.

This is something I have thought about for a long time. I always wonder why git rebase couldn't print the patch name when it failed... Finally I took the time to fix it. Please feel free to comment. It's my first Git patch...

With regards, Jonas
