[PATCH 1/6] builtin rebase: optionally auto-detect the upstream

[Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@gmail.com>]

The `git rebase` command, when called without the `<upstream>`
command-line argument, automatically looks for the upstream
branch configured for the current branch.

With this commit, the builtin rebase learned that trick, too.
