user-manual.txt: prefer 'merge --abort' over 'reset --hard'

Since the operation in progress is merge, stick to the 'git merge'
variant of aborting. 'git reset --hard' does not really tell you about
aborting the merge by just looking, longer to type, and even though I
know by heart what --hard do, I still dislike it when I need to consider
whether --hard, --mixed or --soft.
