<title>sequencer: allow the commit-msg hooks to run during a `reword`</title>

The `reword` command used to call `git commit` in a manner that asks for
the prepare-commit-msg and commit-msg hooks to do their thing.

Converting that part of the interactive rebase to C code introduced the
regression where those hooks were no longer run.

Let's fix this.

Note: the flag is called `VERIFY_MSG` instead of the more intuitive
`RUN_COMMIT_MSG_HOOKS` to indicate that the flag suppresses the
`--no-verify` flag (which may do other things in the future in addition
to suppressing the commit message hooks, too).

So far every time we need to tweak the behaviour of run_git_commit()
we have been adding a "int" parameter to it.  As the function gains
parameters and different callsites having different needs, this is
becoming a maintenance burden.  When a new knob needs to be added to
address a specific need for a single callsite, all the other callsites
need to add a "no, I do not want anything special with respect to the
new knob" argument.

Consolidate the existing four parameters into a flag word to make it
more maintainable, as we will be adding a new one to the mix soon.

The `reword` command of an interactive rebase used to call the
commit-msg hooks, but that regressed when we switched to the
rebase--helper backed by the sequencer.

Noticed by Sebastian Schuberth.

<title>sequencer: drop "warning:" when stopping for edit</title>

Since the conversion from shell to C in 56dc3ab04 (sequencer
(rebase -i): implement the 'edit' command, 2017-01-02),
stopping at an "edit" instruction went from:

  $ git rebase -i
  Stopped at 6ce6b914a... odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
  You can amend the commit now, with
    [...more instructions...]

to:

  $ git rebase -i
  warning: stopped at 6ce6b914a... odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
  You can amend the commit now, with
    [...more instructions...]

The "warning" implies that it's something unexpected, but
it's not. Let's switch back to the original message.

<title>rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin</title>

Now that the sequencer learned to process a "normal" interactive rebase,
we use it. The original shell script is still used for "non-normal"
interactive rebases, i.e. when --root or --preserve-merges was passed.

Please note that the --root option (via the $squash_onto variable) needs
special handling only for the very first command, hence it is still okay
to use the helper upon continue/skip.

Also please note that the --no-ff setting is volatile, i.e. when the
interactive rebase is interrupted at any stage, there is no record of
it. Therefore, we have to pass it from the shell script to the
rebase--helper.

Note: the test t3404 had to be adjusted because the the error messages
produced by the sequencer comply with our current convention to start with
a lower-case letter.

<title>rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases</title>

Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite
its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point
of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from
performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where
we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX.

Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed
the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and
instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally
never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop.

To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other
benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*.

The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends
to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most
affected by the performance penalties mentioned above.

In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer
to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git
rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper.

Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the
technical debt.

Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient
--ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not
persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.
