Teach rebase -i about --preserve-merges

The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to
rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the
history.

Example:

           X
            \
         A---M---B
        /
---o---O---P---Q

When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield

               X
                 \
---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B'

Note that this will

- _not_ touch X [*1*], it does

- _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does

- _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or
  whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it
  has to redo, and it does

- _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere.

*1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD
     are reapplied. The others are kept as-are.

*2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at
     least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

DESCRIPTION

Make a list of the commits which are about to be rebased. Let the
user edit that list before rebasing.
-p, \--preserve-merges::
Instead of ignoring merges, try to recreate them. This option
only works in interactive mode.

And move the first patch to the end of the list.
You might want to preserve merges, if you have a history like this:
------------------
X
\
A---M---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
------------------
Suppose you want to rebase the side branch starting at "A" to "Q". Make
sure that the current HEAD is "B", and call

$ git rebase -i -p --onto Q O
