rebase: implement --[no-]autostash and rebase.autostash
This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index. It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.
rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase. Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.
The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.
When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase. The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.
Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.
