This patch series adds fixup [-C|-c] options to interactive rebase. In
addition to amending the contents of the commit as the `fixup` command
does now, `fixup -C` replaces the commit message of the original commit
which we are fixing up with the message of the fixup commit.
And to edit the fixup commit message before committing, `fixup -c`
command is used instead of `fixup -C`. This convention is similar to
the existing `merge` command in the interactive rebase, that also supports
`-c` and `-C` options with similar meanings.

This patch series also changes `rebase -i --autosquash` to rearrange
commits whose message starts with "amend!" and replaces the pick
command with `fixup -C`. The creation of "amend!" commits will be
rebase -i: add options to fixup command added in another patch series.

This is done in reference to the issue opened by Dscho as here[1] and
further discussed briefly[2]. Also, there is discussion[3] regarding the
implementation of reword! commit. The past patches of Phillip Wood’s
work[4], implements 'reword!' as 'amend!' in git rebase and these patches
uses those as the initial base.
And to avoid the extra command in the interactive rebase, this patch
series instead add options to the current fixup command in interactive
rebase (fixup [-C | -c]) as discussed earlier[5].

Changes from v1 :
* added '< 0' to check that 'write_message()' returns an error
* checks if squash! line commented out in t3415-rebase-autosquash.sh
* removing line break and changing suffix from _str to _fmt in sequencer.c
