When rebasing to a commit history that has no common commits with the
current branch, there is no merge base. In diffstat mode, this means
that we cannot compare to the merge base, but we have to compare to the
empty tree instead.
Also, if running in verbose diffstat mode, we should not output
Changes from <merge-base> to <onto>
as that does not make sense without any merge base.
Note: neither scripted nor built-in versoin of `git rebase` were
prepared for this situation well. We use this opportunity not only to
fix the bug(s), but also to make both versions' output consistent in
this instance. And add a regression test to keep this working in all
eternity.

Since 04519d7201 (rebase: validate -C<n> and --whitespace=<mode>
parameters early, 2018-11-14), the built-in rebase validates the -C and
--whitespace arguments early. As this commit also introduced a
regression test for this, and as a later commit introduced the
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN mode to run tests, we now have a
"regression" in the scripted version of `git rebase` on our hands.
Backport the validation to fix this.

Rewrite of the "rebase" machinery in C.
* pk/rebase-in-c:
builtin/rebase: support running "git rebase <upstream>"
rebase: refactor common shell functions into their own file
rebase: start implementing it as a builtin
The functions present in `git-legacy-rebase.sh` are used by the rebase
backends as they are implemented as shell script functions in the
`git-rebase--<backend>` files.
To make the `builtin/rebase.c` work, we have to provide support via
a Unix shell script snippet that uses these functions and so, we
want to use the rebase backends *directly* from the builtin rebase
without going through `git-legacy-rebase.sh`.
This commit extracts the functions to a separate file,
`git-rebase--common`, that will be read by `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and
by the shell script snippets which will be used extensively in the
following commits.

This commit imitates the strategy that was used to convert the
difftool to a builtin. We start by renaming the shell script
`git-rebase.sh` to `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and introduce a
`builtin/rebase.c` that simply executes the shell script version,
unless the config setting `rebase.useBuiltin` is set to `true`.
The motivation behind this is to rewrite all the functionality of the
shell script version in the aforementioned `rebase.c`, one by one and
be able to conveniently test new features by configuring
`rebase.useBuiltin`.
In the original difftool conversion, if sane_execvp() that attempts to
run the legacy scripted version returned with non-negative status, the
command silently exited without doing anything with success, but
sane_execvp() should not return with non-negative status in the first
place, so we use die() to notice such an abnormal case.
We intentionally avoid reading the config directly to avoid
messing up the GIT_* environment variables when we need to fall back to
exec()ing the shell script. The test of builtin rebase can be done by
`git -c rebase.useBuiltin=true rebase ...`
