rebase: help user when dying with preserve-merges`

Git will die if a "rebase --preserve-merges" is in progress.
Users cannot --quit, --abort or --continue the rebase.

This sceario can occur if the user updates their Git, or switches
to another newer version, after starting a preserve-merges rebase,
commonly via the pull setting.

One trigger is an unexpectedly difficult to resolve conflict, as
reported on the `git-users` group.
(https://groups.google.com/g/git-for-windows/c/3jMWbBlXXHM)

Tell the user the cause, i.e. the existence of the directory.
The problem must be resolved manually, `git rebase --<option>`
commands will die, or the user must downgrade. Also, note that
the deleted options are no longer shown in the documentation.
