Previously, when fast-rebase hit a conflict, it simply aborted and left
HEAD, the index, and the working tree where they were before the
operation started. While fast-rebase does not support restarting from a
conflicted state, write the conflicted state out anyway as it gives us a
way to see what the conflicts are and write tests that check for them.
This will be important in the upcoming commits, because sequencer.c is
only superficially integrated with merge-ort.c; in particular, it calls
merge_switch_to_result() after EACH merge instead of only calling it at
the end of all the sequence of merges (or when a conflict is hit). This
not only causes needless updates to the working copy and index, but also
causes all intermediate data to be freed and tossed, preventing caching
information from one merge to the next. However, integrating
sequencer.c more deeply with merge-ort.c is a big task, and making this
small extension to fast-rebase.c provides us with a simple way to test
the edge and corner cases that we want to make sure continue working.

assert() can succinctly document expectations for the code, and do so in
a way that may be useful to future folks trying to refactor the code and
change basic assumptions; it allows them to more quickly find some
places where their violations of previous assumptions trips things up.
Unfortunately, assert() can surround a function call with important
side-effects, which is a huge mistake since some users will compile with
assertions disabled. I've had to debug such mistakes before in other
codebases, so I should know better. Luckily, this was only in test
code, but it's still very embarrassing. Change an assert() to an if
(...) BUG (...).

Add a new test-tool command named 'fast-rebase', which is a
super-slimmed down and nowhere near as capable version of 'git rebase'.
'test-tool fast-rebase' is not currently planned for usage in the
testsuite, but is here for two purposes:
1) Demonstrate the desired API of merge-ort. In particular,
fast-rebase takes advantage of the separation of the merging
operation from the updating of the index and working tree, to
allow it to pick N commits, but only update the index and working
tree once at the end. Look for the calls to
merge_incore_nonrecursive() and merge_switch_to_result().
2) Provide a convenient benchmark that isn't polluted by the heavy
disk writing and forking of unnecessary processes that comes from
sequencer.c and merge-recursive.c. fast-rebase is not meant to
replace sequencer.c, just give ideas on how sequencer.c can be
changed. Updating sequencer.c with these goals is probably a
large amount of work; writing a simple targeted command with
no documentation, less-than-useful help messages, numerous
limitations in terms of flags it can accept and situations it can
handle, and which is flagged off from users is a much easier
interim step.
