[PATCH 1/4] rebase -i: stop overwriting ORIG_HEAD buffer

["Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

After rebasing ORIG_HEAD is supposed to point to the old HEAD of the
rebased branch. Unfortunately the buffer storing the oid was
overwritten with a new oid before ORIG_HEAD was created. The buffer is
also used when writing .git/rebase-merge/orig-head which is used by
`rebase --abort` to restore the previous head. Luckily that file is
written before the buffer is overwritten.  As we want the full oid
find_unique_abbrev() is replaced with oid_to_hex_r() rather than
find_unique_abbrev_r().

I think that all of the users of head_hash should actually be using
opts->orig_head instead as passing a string rather than a struct
object_id around is a hang over from the scripted implementation. This
patch just fixes the immediate bug and adds a regression test based on
Caspar's reproduction example. The users will be converted to use
struct object_id and head_hash removed in the next few commits.
