[RFC PATCH 0/7] rebase -i: Implement `reword` and `squash` in terms of `do_pick`

Hi,

This patch series is part of the undertaking to add command line options to to-do list commands. The goal is to be able to write something similar to

    pick --reset-author --signoff a Some changes
    pick                          b Some more changes
    squash --no-edit              c Ack Some more changes.

The first submission to the mailing list adds options parsing to `do_pick` and reimplements the current set of to-do list commands in terms[1] of a parametrized `do_pick`. It neither adds new commands to to-do lists nor exposes the command line options feature to the user. Still it makes the implementation of `do_next` slightly more straight-forward and the function `do_pick` behave more like an internal git-cherry-pick.

The patches try to accomplish one thing at a time but are not standalone in the sense that each of them constitutes a frame only in which a subsequent patch can express its one thing. For instance, only committing once and not dying in `do_pick` are things specific to implementing `squash` in terms of `do_pick` but presented as separate patches so that their correctness can be discussed independently.

The last patch contains some notes about when to run the post-rewrite hook, something I could not figure out myself.

Thanks for your time,
   Fabian
