cherry-pick: No advice to commit if --no-commit

When cherry-pick fails it offers a helpful hint about how to
proceed.  The hint tells the user how to do the cleanup
needed by the conflicted cherry-pick and finish the job after
conflict resolution.  In case of cherry-pick --no-commit, the
hint goes too far. It tells the user to finish up with
'git commit'.  That is not what this git-cherry-pick was
trying to do in the first place.

Restrict the hint in case of --no-commit to avoid giving this
extra advice.

Also, add a test verifying the reduced hint for the --no-commit
version of cherry-pick.
