rebase: don't override --no-reschedule-failed-exec with config
Fix a bug in how --no-reschedule-failed-exec interacts with
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true being set in the config. Before this
change the --no-reschedule-failed-exec config option would be
overridden by the config.
This bug happened because of the particulars of how "rebase" works
v.s. most other git commands when it comes to parsing options and
config:
When we read the config and parse the CLI options we correctly prefer
the --no-reschedule-failed-exec option over
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true in the config. So far so good.
However the --reschedule-failed-exec option doesn't take effect when
the rebase starts (we'd just create a
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" file if it was true). It
only takes effect when the exec command fails, at which point we'll
reschedule the failed "exec" command.
Since we only wrote out the positive
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" under
--reschedule-failed-exec, but nothing with --no-reschedule-failed-exec
we'll forget that we asked not to reschedule failed "exec", and would
happily re-read the config and see that
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true is set.
So the config will effectively override the user having explicitly
disabled the option on the command-line.
Even more confusingly: Since rebase accepts different options based on
its state there wasn't even a way to get around this with "rebase
--continue --no-reschedule-failed-exec" (but you could of course set
the config with "rebase -c ...").
I think the least bad way out of this is to declare that for such
options and config whatever we decide at the beginning of the rebase
goes. So we'll now always create either a "reschedule-failed-exec" or
a "no-reschedule-failed-exec file at the start, not just the former if
we decided we wanted the feature.
With this new worldview you can no longer change the setting once a
rebase has started except by manually removing the state files
discussed above. I think making it work like that is the the least
confusing thing we can do.
In the future we might want to learn to change the setting in the
middle by combining "--edit-todo" with
"--[no-]reschedule-failed-exec", we currently don't support combining
those options, or any other way to change the state in the middle of
the rebase short of manually editing the files in
".git/rebase-merge/*".
The bug being fixed here originally came about because of a
combination of the behavior of the code added in d421afa0c66 (rebase:
introduce --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10) and the addition of
the config variable in 969de3ff0e0 (rebase: add a config option to
default to --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10).
