The backend scriptlets for "git rebase" were structured in a
bit unusual way for historical reasons. Originally, it was
designed in such a way that dot-sourcing them from "git
rebase" would be sufficient to invoke the specific backend.
When it was discovered that some shell implementations
(e.g. FreeBSD 9.x) misbehaved when exiting with a "return"
is executed at the top level of a dot-sourced script (the
original was expecting that the control returns to the next
command in "git rebase" after dot-sourcing the scriptlet).
To fix this issue the whole body of git-rebase--$backend.sh
was made into a shell function git_rebase__$backend and then
the last statement of the scriptlet would invoke the function.
Here the call is moved to "git rebase" side, instead of at the
end of each scriptlet. This give us a more normal arrangement
where the scriptlet function library and allows multiple functions
to be implemented in a scriptlet.
