t3404: rebase -i: demonstrate short SHA-1 collision

The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and
then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.

For example:

  edit f00dfad first
  pick badbeef second

If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:

  error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
  fatal: Needed a single revision
  Invalid commit name: badbeef

Demonstrate this problem with a couple of specially crafted commits
which initially have distinct abbreviated SHA-1's, but for which the
abbreviated SHA-1's collide after a simple rewording of the first
commit's message.
