Since we cannot stash dirty submodules, there is no use in requiring
them to be clean (or stash them when they are not).
This brings the built-in rebase in line with the previous, scripted
version, which also did not care about dirty submodules (but it was
admittedly not very easy to figure that out).

When `git stash apply <argument>` sees an argument that consists only of
digits, it tries to be smart and interpret it as `stash@{<number>}`.
Unfortunately, an all-digit hash (which is unlikely but still possible)
is therefore misinterpreted as `stash@{<n>}` reflog.
To prevent that from happening, let's append `^0` after the stash hash,
to make sure that it is interpreted as an OID rather than as a number.

It was reported by Gábor Szeder and analyzed by Alban Gruin that the
built-in rebase stores only abbreviated stash hashes in the `autostash`
file.
This is problematic e.g. in t5520-pull.sh, where the abbreviated hash is
so short that it sometimes consists only of digits, which are
subsequently mistaken ("DWIMmed") for numbers by `git stash apply`.
Let's align the behavior of the built-in rebase with the scripted rebase
and store the full stash hash instead. That makes it a lot less likely
that it consists only of digits.

The builtin rebase and the builtin interactive rebase have been
developed independently, on purpose: Google Summer of Code rules
specifically state that students have to work on independent projects,
they cannot collaborate on the same project.
One fallout is that the rebase-in-c and rebase-i-in-c patches cause no
merge conflicts but a royal number of tests in the test suite to fail.
It is easy to explain why: rebase-in-c was developed under the
assumption that all rebase backends are implemented in Unix shell script
and can be sourced via `. git-rebase--<backend>`, which is no longer
true with rebase-i-in-c, where git-rebase--interactive is a hard-linked
builtin.
This patch fixes that.
Please note that we also skip the finish_rebase() call for interactive
rebases because the built-in interactive rebase already takes care of
that. This is needed to support the upcoming `break` command that wants
to interrupt the rebase with exit code 0 (and naturally wants to keep
the state directory intact when doing so).
While at it, remove the `case` arm for the interactive rebase that is
now skipped in favor of the short-cut to the built-in rebase.

This commit introduces the `--allow-empty-message` option to
`builtin/rebase.c`. The motivation behind this option is: if there are
empty messages (which is not allowed in Git by default, but can be
imported from different version control systems), the rebase will fail.
Using `--allow-empty-message` overrides that behaviour which will allow
the commits having empty messages to continue in rebase operation.

`git rebase`, therefore the builtin rebase does the same.

With this commit the builtin rebase supports selecting the "rebase
backends" (or "type") `interactive`, `preserve-merges`, and `merge`.
The `state_dir` was already handled according to the rebase type in a
previous commit.
Note that there is one quirk in the shell script: `--interactive`
followed by `--merge` won't reset the type to "merge" but keeps the type
as "interactive". And as t3418 tests this explicitly, we have to support
it in the builtin rebase, too.
Likewise, `--interactive` followed by `--preserve-merges` makes it an
"explicitly interactive" rebase, i.e. a rebase that should show the todo
list, while `--preserve-merges` alone is not interactive (and t5520
tests for this via `git pull --rebase=preserve`).

We do *not* use `REBASE_QUIET` here for an important reason: To keep the

`--quiet`, so that a single `OPT_NEGBIT()` can turn on quiet mode and
turn off verbose and diffstat mode at the same time. Likewise, the

This patch gives life to the skeleton added in the previous patches:
With this change, we can perform a elementary rebase (without any
options).
It can be tested thusly by:
git -c rebase.usebuiltin=true rebase HEAD~2
The rebase backends (i.e. the shell script functions defined in
`git-rebase--<backend>`) are still at work here and the "builtin
rebase"'s purpose is simply to parse the options and set
everything up so that those rebase backends can do their work.
Note: We take an alternative approach here which is *not* to set the
environment variables via `run_command_v_opt_cd_env()` because those
variables would then be visible by processes spawned from the rebase
backends. Instead, we work hard to set them in the shell script snippet.
On Windows, some of the tests fail merely due to core.fileMode not
being heeded that's why the core.*config variables is parsed here.
The `reset_head()` function is currently only used to detach the HEAD
to onto by way of starting the rebase, but it offers additional
functionality that subsequent patches will need like moving to the
original branch (possibly updating it) and also to do the equivalent of
`git reset --hard`.
The next commits will handle and support all the wonderful rebase
options.

This commit imitates the strategy that was used to convert the
difftool to a builtin. We start by renaming the shell script
`git-rebase.sh` to `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and introduce a
`builtin/rebase.c` that simply executes the shell script version,
unless the config setting `rebase.useBuiltin` is set to `true`.
The motivation behind this is to rewrite all the functionality of the
shell script version in the aforementioned `rebase.c`, one by one and
be able to conveniently test new features by configuring
`rebase.useBuiltin`.
In the original difftool conversion, if sane_execvp() that attempts to
run the legacy scripted version returned with non-negative status, the
command silently exited without doing anything with success, but
sane_execvp() should not return with non-negative status in the first
place, so we use die() to notice such an abnormal case.
We intentionally avoid reading the config directly to avoid
messing up the GIT_* environment variables when we need to fall back to
exec()ing the shell script. The test of builtin rebase can be done by
`git -c rebase.useBuiltin=true rebase ...`
