[PATCH 10/15] rebase: add an --am option

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, this option doesn't do anything except error out if any
options requiring the interactive-backend are also passed.  However,
when we make the default backend configurable later in this series, this
flag will provide a way to override the config setting.
