rebase --exec: make it work with --rebase-merges
The idea of `--exec` is to append an `exec` call after each `pick`. Since the introduction of fixup!/squash! commits, this idea was extended to apply to "pick, possibly followed by a fixup/squash chain", i.e. an exec would not be inserted between a `pick` and any of its corresponding `fixup` or `squash` lines. The current implementation uses a dirty trick to achieve that: it assumes that there are only pick/fixup/squash commands, and then *inserts* the `exec` lines before any `pick` but the first, and appends a final one. With the todo lists generated by `git rebase --rebase-merges`, this simple implementation shows its problems: it produces the exact wrong thing when there are `label`, `reset` and `merge` commands. Let's change the implementation to do exactly what we want: look for `pick` lines, skip any fixup/squash chains, and then insert the `exec` line. Lather, rinse, repeat. Note: we take pains to insert *before* comment lines whenever possible, as empty commits are represented by commented-out pick lines (and we want to insert a preceding pick's exec line *before* such a line, not afterward). While at it, also add `exec` lines after `merge` commands, because they are similar in spirit to `pick` commands: they add new commits.
