[GSoC][PATCH v6 00/20] rebase -i: rewrite in C

This patch series rewrite the interactive rebase from shell to C.

It is based on ffc6fa0e39 ("Fourth batch for 2.19 cycle", 2018-07-24). This apply cleanly to 1d89318c48 ("Fifth batch for 2.19 cycle"), and does not break tests.

Changes since v5:

 - [01/20] Make write_message() public.

 - [04/20] Use write_message() inside of edit_todo_list().

 - [08/20, 11/20 & 17/20] Return -1 instead of 1 in case of error inside
   of complete_action(), edit_todo_list(), append_todo_help_to_file(),
   and do_interactive_rebase().

 - [11/20] Better error management in complete_action().

 - [11/20] Use error() to show the message "Nothing to do".

 - [11/20] Typofix.
