Hello, After further review from Junio, I have been able to make reworking with a file during hunk selection an optional feature by passing the `rework-with-file` flag to the --patch option in the interactive machinery.

With the option, users can navigate in between files and while deciding on hunks as they wish with the '>' and '<' option for going to the next and previous file respectively if there are more than one file.

The process shows a prompt which allows reworking with the file and changing previous decisions if need be, going to the next or previous file if possible or using 'q' to submit and end the process.

Patch 1 implements the new 'rework-with-file' options, Patch 2 makes some changes to allow interfile navigation when the option is supplied and Patch 3 modifies the code to allow the patches to be applied only after all decisions have been made and session ends when this option is enabled.
