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.

The $TEST_DIRECTORY variable allows tests to find the
top-level test directory regardless of the current working
directory.
In the past, this has been used to accomodate tests which
change directories, but it is also the first step to being
able to move trash directories outside of the
$TEST_DIRECTORY hierarchy.

In a rebase with --onto, the correct test for whether we can skip
rewriting a commit is if it is already on top of $ONTO, not $UPSTREAM.
Without --onto, this distinction does not exist and the behavior does
not change.
In a situation with two merged branches on a common base X:
X---o---o---o---M
\ /
x---x---x---x
Y
if we try to move the branches from their base on X to be based on Y,
so as to get
X
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
\ /
x'--x'--x'--x'
then we fail. The command `git rebase -p --onto Y X M` moves only the
first-parent chain, like so:
X
\
x---x---x---x
\
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
because it mistakenly drops the other branch(es) x---x---x---x from
the TODO file. This tests and fixes this behavior.
