parentrebase-merges: move labels' whitespace mangling into `label_oid()` (diff)

rebase -r: let `label` generate safer labels
The `label` todo command in interactive rebases creates temporary refs in the `refs/rewritten/` namespace. These refs are stored as loose refs, i.e. as files in `.git/refs/rewritten/`, therefore they have to conform with file name limitations on the current filesystem in addition to the accepted ref format. This poses a problem in particular on NTFS/FAT, where e.g. the colon, double-quote and pipe characters are disallowed as part of a file name. Let's safeguard against this by replacing not only white-space characters by dashes, but all non-alpha-numeric ones. However, we exempt non-ASCII UTF-8 characters from that, as it should be quite possible to reflect branch names such as `↯↯↯` in refs/file names.
