Documentation: define 'MERGE_AUTOSTASH'
The documentation for 'git merge --abort' and 'git merge --quit' both mention the special ref 'MERGE_AUTOSTASH', but this ref is not formally defined anywhere. Mention it in the description of the '--autostash' option for 'git merge'. Signed-off-by: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Automatically create a temporary stash entry before the operation
- begins, and apply it after the operation ends. This means
+ begins, record it in the special ref `MERGE_AUTOSTASH`
+ and apply it after the operation ends. This means
that you can run the operation on a dirty worktree. However, use
with care: the final stash application after a successful
merge might result in non-trivial conflicts.
