rebase -i: teach "--exec <cmd>"
During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits. By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of each run of "fixup" and "squash".
