[PATCH v2] rebase -i: restore autostash on abort

When we abort an interactive rebase we do so by calling `die_abort`, which cleans up after us by removing the rebase state directory. If the user has requested to use the autostash feature, though, the state directory may also contain a reference to the autostash, which will now be deleted.

Fix the issue by trying to re-apply the autostash in `die_abort`. This will also handle the case where the autostash does not apply cleanly anymore by recording it in a user-visible stash.

The original bug-report can be found at [1], the previous version of this patch at [2].

I've included a second test which now also tests how we fare when we actually fail to restore the autostash after the editor has been aborted.

Another minor change is fixing of a typo inherited from the previous test "abort rebase -i with --autostash" (commited -> committed). I don't think there's any benefit in fixing the typo in the existing test so I'll just keep it there.
