[PATCH 6/6] builtin rebase: error out on incompatible option/mode combinations

[Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@gmail.com>]

While working on the GSoC project to convert the rebase command to a
builtin, the rebase command learned to error out on certain command-line
option combinations that cannot work, such as --whitespace=fix with
--interactive.

This commit converts that code.
