rebase -i: skip unnecessary picks using the rebase--helper

In particular on Windows, where shell scripts are even more expensive
than on MacOSX or Linux, it makes sense to move a loop that forks
Git at least once for every line in the todo list into a builtin.

Note: The original code did not try to skip unnecessary picks of root
commits but punts instead (probably --root was not considered common
enough of a use case to bother optimizing). We do the same, for now.
