ddb81e5072 (rebase-interactive: use todo_list_write_to_file() in
edit_todo_list(), 2019-03-05) made edit_todo_list more efficient by
replacing transform_todo_file with todo_list_parse_insn_buffer.
Unfortunately, that innocuous change caused a regression because
todo_list_parse_insn_buffer would stop parsing after encountering an
invalid 'fixup' line. If the user accidentally made the first line a
'fixup' and tried to recover from their mistake with `git rebase
--edit-todo`, all of the commands after the first would be lost.
To avoid throwing away important parts of the todo list, change
todo_list_parse_insn_buffer to keep going and not return early on error.
