[RFC] Add "edit" action for interactive rebase?

[Andrew Wong <andrew.kw.w@gmail.com>]

Occasionally, while I'm in the middle of an interactive rebase, I'd change my
mind about the todo list and want to modify it.  This means manually digging
out the todo file from the rebase directory, and invoking the editor.  So I
thought it might be convenient to have an "edit" action that simply invokes the
editor on the todo file but do nothing else.

This should be safe to do in the middle of a rebase, since we don't preprocess
the todo file and generate any state from it.  I've also been manually editing
the todo file a while now, and I never ran into any issues.

I wonder if any others have ever ran into this situation, and would this be
a useful feature to have in interactive rebase? Comments?

This patch doesn't have any documentations yet. I'll add some documentations in
another patch if we decide to include this.
