[PATCH] rebase --abort: cleanup refs/rewritten

From

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>
When `rebase -r` finishes it removes any refs under refs/rewritten
that it has created. However if the rebase is aborted these refs are
not removed. This can cause problems for future rebases. For example I
recently wanted to merge a updated version of a topic branch into an
integration branch so ran `rebase -ir` and removed the picks and label
for the topic branch from the todo list so that
    merge -C <old-merge> topic
would pick up the new version of topic. Unfortunately
refs/rewritten/topic already existed from a previous rebase that had
been aborted so the rebase just used the old topic, not the new one.

Notes:
    This is based on pw/rebase-i-internal, it would be nicer to base it on
    maint but there are function name clashes adding sequencer.h to rebase.c
    an maint. Those clashes are fixed in pw/rebase-i-internal
