[PATCH v3 0/2] rebase -i: introduce the 'break' command

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Stefan asked a while back
[https://public-inbox.org/git/20180118183618.39853-3-sbeller@google.com/] 
for a todo command in interactive rebases that would essentially perform the
"stop" part of the edit command, but without the "pick" part: interrupt the
interactive rebase, with exit code 0, letting the user do things and stuff
and look around, with the idea of continuing the rebase later (using git
rebase --continue).

This patch introduces that, based on ag/rebase-i-in-c.

Changes since v2:

 * Fixed two typos.
 * When interrupting the rebase, break now outputs a message.

Changes since v1:

 * Wrapped the commit message correctly.
 * Added a preparatory patch to mention what happens in case an exec fails.
 * Mentioned the break command in the git-rebase(1) documentation.
