[PATCH 18/18] builtin rebase: support --root

[Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@xxxxxxxxx>]

This option allows to rebase entire histories up to, and including, the
root commit.

The conversion from the shell script is straight-forward, apart from
the fact that we do not have to write an empty tree in C.
