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.
