builtin rebase: allow selecting the rebase "backend"

With this commit the builtin rebase supports selecting the "rebase
backends" (or "type") `interactive`, `preserve-merges`, and `merge`.

The `state_dir` was already handled according to the rebase type in a
previous commit.

Note that there is one quirk in the shell script: `--interactive`
followed by `--merge` won't reset the type to "merge" but keeps the type
as "interactive". And as t3418 tests this explicitly, we have to support
it in the builtin rebase, too.

Likewise, `--interactive` followed by `--preserve-merges` makes it an
"explicitly interactive" rebase, i.e. a rebase that should show the todo
list, while `--preserve-merges` alone is not interactive (and t5520
tests for this via `git pull --rebase=preserve`).
