This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree.
It works by creating a temporary stash and storing it in
$state_dir/autostash before the operation, and applying it after a
successful operation. It will be removed along with the $state_dir if
the operation is aborted.
The feature creates a special stash that does not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, and will therefore be invisible to the end user.
This special stash is essentially a dangling merge commit which has
reasonable lifetime specified by gc.pruneexpire (default 2 weeks).
Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.
