I think it would be wrong for the `smerge-mode' command to move point.
(De)activating such a minor mode shouldn't move point.

OTOH when smerge-mode gets enabled in response to a VC action, it
probably makes sense to move point, indeed.  So I suggest to add a new
command that activates smerge-mode and moves to the first conflict (and
probably run a hook where the user can place things like
smerge-resolve-all).
