[PATCH/RFC/GSoC 04/17] builtin-rebase: parse rebase arguments into a common rebase_options struct

A non-root rebase takes 3 arguments:
* branch_name -- the branch or commit that will be rebased. If it is not
  specified, the current branch is used.
* upstream -- The upstream commit to compare against. If it is not
  specified, the configured upstream for the current branch is used.
* onto (or newbase) -- The commit to be used as the starting point to
  re-apply the commits. If it is not specified, `upstream` is used.

Since these parameters are used by all 3 rebase backends, introduce a common rebase_options struct to hold all these options. Teach builtin/rebase.c to handle the above arguments and store them in a rebase_options struct. In later patches we will pass the rebase_options struct to the appropriate backend to perform the rebase.
