To store the strategy options rebase prepends " --" to each one and
writes them to a file. To load them it reads the file and passes the
contents to split_cmdline(). This roughly mimics the behavior of the
scripted rebase but has a couple of limitations, (1) options containing
whitespace are not properly preserved (this is true of the scripted
rebase as well) and (2) options containing '"' or '\' are incorrectly
parsed and may cause the parser to return an error.

Fix these limitations by quoting each option when they are stored so
that they can be parsed correctly. Now that "--preserve-merges" no
longer exist this change also stops prepending "--" to the options when
they are stored as that was an artifact of the scripted rebase.

These changes are backwards compatible so the files written by an older
version of git can be still be read. They are also forwards compatible,
the file can still be parsed by recent versions of git as they treat the
"--" prefix as optional.

I'm not sure we want to tie ourselves to support completing a rebase
with git version X+1 that was started with git version X.  But, it's
really nice that you're paying attention to that level of detail.  :-)

In the past we've had complaints when we've made backwards incompatible changes but I'm not sure we've ever promised never to do it. Part of the problem for users is that they may not be in control of when git gets upgraded. Also we've had reports where a macos user started a rebase with tig which used a bundled version of git that was different to what the user had available on the command line when the continued the rebase.

Do we not have a function in quote.[ch] that can handle this?  If not,
should we add this code to a function in that file and call it?

No we don't and yes we should, though in the end I've added it to alias.c as that is where split_cmdline() lives.

Thanks for you comments, I'll post a re-roll in the next couple of days
