In this developer's earlier attempt to accelerate interactive rebases by
converting large parts from Unix shell script into portable, performant
C, the --root handling was specifically excluded (to simplify the task a
little bit; it still took over a year to get that reduced set of patches
into Git proper).
This patch ties up that loose end: now only --preserve-merges uses the
slow Unix shell script implementation to perform the interactive rebase.
As the rebase--helper reports progress to stderr (unlike the scripted
interactive rebase, which reports it to stdout, of all places), we have
to adjust a couple of tests that did not expect that for `git rebase -i
--root`.
This patch fixes -- at long last! -- the really old bug reported in
6a6bc5bdc4 (add tests for rebasing root, 2013-06-06) that rebasing with
--root *always* rewrote the root commit, even if there were no changes.
The bug still persists in --preserve-merges mode, of course, but that
mode will be deprecated as soon as the new --rebase-merges mode
stabilizes, anyway.

If there are empty commits on the left hand side of $upstream...HEAD
then the empty commits on the right hand side that we want to keep are
being pruned.

rebase --merge accepts --keep-empty but just ignores it, by using an
implicit interactive rebase the user still gets the rename detection
of a merge based rebase but with with --keep-empty support.
If rebase --keep-empty without --interactive or --merge stops for the
user to resolve merge conflicts then 'git rebase --continue' will
fail. This is because it uses a different code path that does not
create $git_dir/rebase-apply. As rebase --keep-empty was implemented
using cherry-pick it has never supported the am options and now that
interactive rebases support --signoff there is no loss of
functionality by using an implicit interactive rebase.

If there are empty commits on the left hand side of $upstream...HEAD
then the empty commits on the right hand side that we want to keep are
pruned by --cherry-pick. Fix this by using --cherry-mark instead of
--cherry-pick and keeping the commits that are empty or are not marked
as cherry-picks.

Absent this fix, attempts to rebase an orphan branch using "rebase -m"
fails with:
$ git rebase -m ORPHAN_TARGET_BASE
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Could not parse object 'ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA^'
Unknown exit code (128) from command: git-merge-recursive ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA^ -- HEAD ORPHAN_ROOT_SHA
To fix, this will only include the rebase root's parent as a base if it exists,
so that in cases of rebasing an orphan branch, it is a simple two-way merge.
Note the default rebase behavior does not fail:
$ git rebase ORPHAN_TARGET_BASE
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: ORPHAN_ROOT_COMMIT_MSG
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
A few tests were expecting the old behaviour to forbid rebasing such
a history with "rebase -m", which now need to expect them to succeed.

The recently introduced tests used uppercase letters to denote
cherry-picks of commits having the corresponding lowercase letter names.
The helper functions also set up tags with the names of the commits.
But this constellation fails on case-insensitive file systems because
there cannot be distinct tags with names that differ only in case.
Use a less subtle convention for the names of cherry-picked commits.
