As part of an ongoing effort to make rebase have more uniform behavior,
modify the merge backend to behave like the interactive one, by
re-implementing it on top of the latter.
Interactive rebases are implemented in terms of cherry-pick rather than
the merge-recursive builtin, but cherry-pick also calls into the
recursive merge machinery by default and can accept special merge
strategies and/or special strategy options. As such, there really is
not any need for having both git-rebase--merge and
git-rebase--interactive anymore. Delete git-rebase--merge.sh and
instead implement it in builtin/rebase.c.
This results in a few deliberate but small user-visible changes:
* The progress output is modified (see t3406 and t3420 for examples)
* A few known test failures are now fixed (see t3421)
* bash-prompt during a rebase --merge is now REBASE-i instead of
REBASE-m. Reason: The prompt is a reflection of the backend in use;
this allows users to report an issue to the git mailing list with
the appropriate backend information, and allows advanced users to
know where to search for relevant control files. (see t9903)
testcase modification notes:
t3406: --interactive and --merge had slightly different progress output
while running; adjust a test to match the new expectation
t3420: these test precise output while running, but rebase--am,
rebase--merge, and rebase--interactive all were built on very
different commands (am, merge-recursive, cherry-pick), so the
tests expected different output for each type. Now we expect
--merge and --interactive to have the same output.
t3421: --interactive fixes some bugs in --merge! Wahoo!
t9903: --merge uses the interactive backend so the prompt expected is
now REBASE-i.

The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be
deprecated soon, as the more powerful `--rebase-merges` mode is
available now, and the latter was designed with the express intent to
address the shortcomings of `--preserve-merges`' design (e.g. the
inability to reorder commits in an interactive rebase).
As such, we will eventually even remove the `--preserve-merges` support,
and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for this, and also to allow the Windows phase of our
automated tests to save some well-needed time when running the test
suite, this commit introduces a new prerequisite REBASE_P, which can be
forced to being unmet by setting the environment variable
`GIT_TEST_SKIP_REBASE_P` to any non-empty string.

In this developer's earlier attempt to accelerate interactive rebases by
converting large parts from Unix shell script into portable, performant
C, the --root handling was specifically excluded (to simplify the task a
little bit; it still took over a year to get that reduced set of patches
into Git proper).
This patch ties up that loose end: now only --preserve-merges uses the
slow Unix shell script implementation to perform the interactive rebase.
As the rebase--helper reports progress to stderr (unlike the scripted
interactive rebase, which reports it to stdout, of all places), we have
to adjust a couple of tests that did not expect that for `git rebase -i
--root`.
This patch fixes -- at long last! -- the really old bug reported in
6a6bc5bdc4 (add tests for rebasing root, 2013-06-06) that rebasing with
--root *always* rewrote the root commit, even if there were no changes.
The bug still persists in --preserve-merges mode, of course, but that
mode will be deprecated as soon as the new --rebase-merges mode
stabilizes, anyway.

If there are empty commits on the left hand side of $upstream...HEAD
then the empty commits on the right hand side that we want to keep are
being pruned.

rebase --merge accepts --keep-empty but just ignores it, by using an
implicit interactive rebase the user still gets the rename detection
of a merge based rebase but with with --keep-empty support.
If rebase --keep-empty without --interactive or --merge stops for the
user to resolve merge conflicts then 'git rebase --continue' will
fail. This is because it uses a different code path that does not
create $git_dir/rebase-apply. As rebase --keep-empty was implemented
using cherry-pick it has never supported the am options and now that
interactive rebases support --signoff there is no loss of
functionality by using an implicit interactive rebase.

If there are empty commits on the left hand side of $upstream...HEAD
then the empty commits on the right hand side that we want to keep are
pruned by --cherry-pick. Fix this by using --cherry-mark instead of
--cherry-pick and keeping the commits that are empty or are not marked
as cherry-picks.

Absent this fix, attempts to rebase an orphan branch using "rebase -m"
fails with:
$ git rebase -m ORPHAN_TARGET_BASE
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Could not parse object 'ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA^'
Unknown exit code (128) from command: git-merge-recursive ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA^ -- HEAD ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA
To fix, this will only include the rebase root's parent as a base if it exists,
so that in cases of rebasing an orphan branch, it is a simple two-way merge.
Note the default rebase behavior does not fail:
$ git rebase ORPHAN_TARGET_BASE
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: ORPHAN_ROOT_COMMIT_MSG
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
A few tests were expecting the old behaviour to forbid rebasing such
a history with "rebase -m", which now need to expect them to succeed.

The recently introduced tests used uppercase letters to denote
cherry-picks of commits having the corresponding lowercase letter names.
The helper functions also set up tags with the names of the commits.
But this constellation fails on case-insensitive file systems because
there cannot be distinct tags with names that differ only in case.
Use a less subtle convention for the names of cherry-picked commits.
