[PATCH] Support merge strategy options in rebase

The manpage says that git-rebase supports merge strategies, but the rebase command doesn't know about -X, and gives the usage when presented with it.

Signed-off-by: Mike Lundy <mike@fluffypenguin.org>

 My test modification only makes sure that the argument is accepted; it assumes
 merge strategies are already tested and they won't actually be needed, because
 there's no conflict.
