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 simply copies the version as of v2.19.0-rc0 verbatim. As of now,
it is not hooked up (because it needs a couple more changes to work);

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 builtin rebase and the builtin interactive rebase have been
developed independently, on purpose: Google Summer of Code rules
specifically state that students have to work on independent projects,
they cannot collaborate on the same project.
One fallout is that the rebase-in-c and rebase-i-in-c patches cause no
merge conflicts but a royal number of tests in the test suite to fail.
It is easy to explain why: rebase-in-c was developed under the
assumption that all rebase backends are implemented in Unix shell script
and can be sourced via `. git-rebase--<backend>`, which is no longer
true with rebase-i-in-c, where git-rebase--interactive is a hard-linked
builtin.
This patch fixes that.

This rewrites complete_action() from shell to C.
A new mode is added to rebase--helper (`--complete-action`), as well as
a new flag (`--autosquash`).
Finally, complete_action() is stripped from git-rebase--interactive.sh.
The original complete_action() would return the code 2 when the todo
list contained no actions. This was a special case for rebase -i and
-p; git-rebase.sh would then apply the autostash, delete the state
directory, and die with the message "Nothing to do". This cleanup is
rewritten in C instead of returning 2. As rebase -i no longer returns
2, the comment describing this behaviour in git-rebase.sh is updated to
reflect this change.
The message "Nothing to do" is now printed with error(), and so becomes
"error: nothing to do". Some tests in t3404 check this value, so they
are updated to fit this change.
The first check might seem useless as we write "noop" to the todo list
if it is empty. Actually, the todo list might contain commented
commands (ie. empty commits). In this case, complete_action() won’t
write "noop", and will abort without starting the editor.

This commit introduces the `--allow-empty-message` option to
`builtin/rebase.c`. The motivation behind this option is: if there are
empty messages (which is not allowed in Git by default, but can be

Using `--allow-empty-message` overrides that behaviour which will allow
the commits having empty messages to continue in rebase operation.
