Add -3 to "b4 am" to prep for a 3way merge
The original code used for b4 diff was to prepare for a 3-way merge by making sure that all blob indexes exist in the local repo. Add this functionality to "b4 am" and document all the features added in the 0.5.0 branch. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Ryabitsev <konstantin@linuxfoundation.org>
