Message-ID: <47bc4470e22c349082ae45b1e4b5c2547d30d4d2.1571442786.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

```
Since --preserve-merges has been deprecated in favour of
--rebase-merges, mark this option as hidden so it no longer shows up in
the usage and completions.

This patch continues the deprecation effort and can be based on top of
`js/rebase-deprecate-preserve-merges`.
