[PATCH v1 12/12] rebase -i: run without forking rebase--interactive

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

When the builtin rebase starts an interactive rebase it parses the options and then repackages them and forks `rebase--interactive`. Separate the option parsing in cmd_rebase__interactive() from the business logic to allow interactive rebases can be run without forking `rebase__interactive` by calling run_rebase_interactive() directly.

Starting interactive rebases without forking makes it easy to debug the sequencer without worrying about attaching to child processes. Ævar has also reported that some of the rebase perf tests are 30% faster [1].

This patch also makes it easy to remove cmd_rebase__interactive() in the future when git-legacy-rebase.sh and git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh are retired.
