When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Git for Windows introduced the `--no-lock-index` option a long time ago
to fix that (it made it into Git for Windows v2.9.2(3)) by simply
avoiding to write that file.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Sadly, a competing approach was submitted (by somebody who apparently
has less work on their plate than this maintainer) that made it into
v2.15.0 but is *different*: instead of a `git status`-only option, it is
an option that comes *before* the Git command and is called differently,
too.
Let's give previous users a chance to upgrade to newer Git for Windows
versions by handling the `--no-lock-index` option, still, though with a
big fat warning.

This branch adds back the scripted versions, then adds the option to
use the builtin versions of `stash` and `rebase` by setting
`stash.useBuiltin=true` and `rebase.useBuiltin=true`, respectively,
(the latter already worked for the top-level `git rebase` command and
the `--am` backend, and now it also works for the interactive backend).

The upcoming Git for Windows v2.19.0 wants to ship with the builtin
versions of stash, rebase and rebase -i. The reason: these are just *so
much faster*: t3400 and t3404 run about 60-70 percent faster, and t3903
even more than 80% faster.
However, these are still all pretty fresh, still being reviewed and
iterated on the Git mailing list.
So let's try to give users a way to test these (or to boldly use them
for their mission-critical tasks, as this here developer plans on
doing), but stay with the safe option by default: use the scripted
versions (which might be slow, but they are well tested).

We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.
Just like we have `rebase.useBuiltin` to fall back to the scripted
rebase, to give end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command, this commit adds support for `stash.useBuiltin`.
This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to ship the builtin
stash earlier than core Git: Git for Windows v2.19.0 will come with
the option of a drastically faster (if a lot less battle-tested)
`git stash`.
As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.
To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

This simply copies the version as of v2.19.0-rc0 verbatim. As of now,

We recently converted both the `git rebase` and the `git rebase -i`
command from Unix shell scripts to builtins.
The former has a safety valve allowing to fall back to the scripted
`rebase`, just in case that there is a bug in the builtin `rebase`:
setting the config variable `rebase.useBuiltin` to `false` will
fall back to using the scripted version.
The latter did not have such a safety hatch.
Let's reinstate the scripted interactive rebase backend so that `rebase.useBuiltin=false` will not use the builtin interactive rebase,
just in case that an end user runs into a bug with the builtin version
and needs to get out of the fix really quickly.
This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to ship the builtin
rebase/interactive rebase earlier than core Git: Git for Windows
v2.19.0 will come with the option of a drastically faster (if a lot
less battle-tested) `git rebase`/`git rebase -i`.
As the file name `git-rebase--interactive` is already in use, let's
rename the scripted backend to `git-legacy-rebase--interactive`.
A couple of additional touch-ups are needed (such as teaching the
builtin `rebase--interactive`, which assumed the role of the
`rebase--helper`, to perform the two tricks to skip the unnecessary
picks and to generate a new todo list) to make things work again.

This patch teaches the builtin rebase to avoid the scripted --am backend
and call `git format-patch` and `git am` directly.
Meaning: apart from the --merge and the --preserve-merges backends, `git
rebase` is now implemented in pure C, with no need to ask the Unix shell
interpreter for help.
This brings us really close to a fully builtin `git rebase`: the
--preserve-merges mode is about to be deprecated (as soon as the
--rebase-merges mode has proven stable and robust enough), and there are
plans to scrap the `git-rebase--merge` backend in favor of teaching the
interactive rebase enough tricks to run the --merge mode, too.

While the scripted `git rebase` still has to rely on the
`git-rebase--am.sh` script to implement the glue between the `rebase`
and the `am` commands, we can go a more direct route in the builtin
rebase and avoid using a shell script altogether.
This reduces the chances of Git for Windows running into trouble due to
problems with the POSIX emulation layer (known as "MSYS2 runtime",
itself a derivative of the Cygwin runtime): when no shell script is
called, the POSIX emulation layer is avoided altogether.

The verbose output of the test 'reword without issues functions as
intended' in 't3423-rebase-reword.sh', added in a9279c6785 (sequencer:
do not squash 'reword' commits when we hit conflicts, 2018-06-19),
contains the following error output:
sed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command
This error comes from within the 'fake-editor.sh' script created by
'lib-rebase.sh's set_fake_editor() function, and the root cause is the
FAKE_LINES="pick 1 reword 2" variable in the test in question, in
particular the "pick" word. 'fake-editor.sh' assumes 'pick' to be the
default rebase command and doesn't support an explicit 'pick' command
in FAKE_LINES. As a result, 'pick' will be used instead of a line
number when assembling the following 'sed' script:
sed -n picks/^pick/pick/p
which triggers the aforementioned error.
Luckily, this didn't affect the test's correctness: the erroring 'sed'
command doesn't write anything to the todo script, and processing the
rest of FAKE_LINES generates the desired todo script, as if that
'pick' command were not there at all.
The minimal fix would be to remove the 'pick' word from FAKE_LINES,
but that would leave us susceptible to similar issues in the future.
Instead, teach the fake-editor script to recognize an explicit 'pick'
command, which is still a fairly trivial change.
In the future we might want to consider reinforcing this fake editor
script with an &&-chain and stricter parsing of the FAKE_LINES
variable (e.g. to error out when encountering unknown rebase commands
or commands and line numbers in the wrong order).
