git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases

In the past, we had different prompts for different types of rebases:
   REBASE: for am-based rebases
   REBASE-m: for merge-based rebases
   REBASE-i: for interactive-based rebases

It's not clear why this distinction was necessary or helpful; when the
prompt was added in commit e75201963f ("Improve bash prompt to detect
various states like an unfinished merge", 2007-09-30), it simply added
these three different types.  Perhaps there was a useful purpose back
then, but there have been some changes:

  * The merge backend was deleted after being implemented on top of the
    interactive backend, causing the prompt for merge-based rebases to
    change from REBASE-m to REBASE-i.
  * The interactive backend is used for multiple different types of
    non-interactive rebases, so the "-i" part of the prompt doesn't
    really mean what it used to.
  * Rebase backends have gained more abilities and have a great deal of
    overlap, sometimes making it hard to distinguish them.
  * Behavioral differences between the backends have also been ironed
    out.
  * We want to change the default backend from am to interactive, which
    means people would get "REBASE-i" by default if we didn't change
    the prompt, and only if they specified --am or --whitespace or -C
    would they get the "REBASE" prompt.
  * In the future, we plan to have "--whitespace", "-C", and even "--am"
    run the interactive backend once it can handle everything the
    am-backend can.

For all these reasons, make the prompt for any type of rebase just be
"REBASE".
