rebase: display an error if --root and --fork-point are both provided

--root implies we want to rebase all commits since the beginning of
history.  --fork-point means we want to use the reflog of the specified
upstream to find the best common ancestor between <upstream> and
<branch> and only rebase commits since that common ancestor.  These
options are clearly contradictory, so throw an error (instead of
segfaulting on a NULL pointer) if both are specified.

ends up being empty, the <upstream> will be used as a fallback.

If either <upstream> or --root is given on the command line, then the
default is `--no-fork-point`, otherwise the default is `--fork-point`.

If your branch was based on <upstream> but <upstream> was rewound and
your branch contains commits which were dropped, this option can be used
with `--keep-base` in order to drop those commits from your branch.
