doc: add suggestion to use --3way
The CI seems to do a 3way merge so it is possible that even though the CI passed, the existing git am command may fail. Add text to suggest how to handle this by adding the --3way option.

If the merge fails even though recent CI runs were successful, then a 3-way merge may
|
||||
be required. In this case try:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
$ git am --abort
|
||||
$ curl -L https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/xxx.patch | git am -3 --whitespace=fix
|
||||
```
|
||||
If the 3-way merge succeeds you can proceed, but make sure to check the changes
|
||||
against the original PR carefully and build/test on at least one platform
|
||||
before landing. If the 3-way merge fails, then it is most likely that a conflicting
|
||||
PR has landed since the CI run and you will have to ask the author to rebase.
