rebase -i: rewrite append_todo_help() in C

This rewrites append_todo_help() from shell to C. It also incorporates
some parts of initiate_action() and complete_action() that also write
help texts to the todo file.

This also introduces the source file rebase-interactive.c. This file
will contain functions necessary for interactive rebase that are too
specific for the sequencer, and is part of libgit.a.

Two flags are added to rebase--helper.c: one to call
append_todo_help() (`--append-todo-help`), and another one to tell
append_todo_help() to write the help text suited for the edit-todo
mode (`--write-edit-todo`).

Finally, append_todo_help() is removed from git-rebase--interactive.sh
to use `rebase--helper --append-todo-help` instead.
