A common use case for the `--exec` option is to verify that each commit
in a topic branch compiles cleanly, via `git rebase -x make <base>`.
However, when an `exec` in such a rebase fails, it is not re-scheduled,
which in this instance is not particularly helpful.
Let's offer a flag to reschedule failed `exec` commands.
Based on an idea by Paul Morelle.

The functions present in `git-legacy-rebase.sh` are used by the rebase
backends as they are implemented as shell script functions in the
`git-rebase--<backend>` files.
To make the `builtin/rebase.c` work, we have to provide support via
a Unix shell script snippet that uses these functions and so, we
want to use the rebase backends *directly* from the builtin rebase
without going through `git-legacy-rebase.sh`.
This commit extracts the functions to a separate file,
`git-rebase--common`, that will be read by `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and
by the shell script snippets which will be used extensively in the
following commits.
