builtin rebase: call git am directly

While the scripted `git rebase` still has to rely on the
`git-rebase--am.sh` script to implement the glue between the `rebase`
and the `am` commands, we can go a more direct route in the builtin rebase and avoid using a shell script altogether.

This patch represents a straight-forward port of `git-rebase--am.sh` to
C, along with the glue code to call it directly from within
`builtin/rebase.c`.

This reduces the chances of Git for Windows running into trouble due to
problems with the POSIX emulation layer (known as "MSYS2 runtime",
itself a derivative of the Cygwin runtime): when no shell script is
called, the POSIX emulation layer is avoided altogether.
