rebase: find orig_head unambiguously

When we 'git rebase $upstream', git uses 'rev-parse --verify
$current_branch' to find ORIG_HEAD.  But if $current_branch
is ambiguous, 'rev-parse --verify' emits a warning and returns
a SHA1 anyway.  When the wrong ambiguous choice is used,
git-rebase fails non-gracefully:  it emits a warning about
failing to lock $current_branch, an error about being unable to
checkout $current_branch again, and it might even decide the
rebase is a fast-forward when it is not.

In the 'rebase $upstream' case, we already know the unambiguous
spelling of $current_branch is "HEAD".  Fix git-rebase to find
$orig_head unambiguously.

Add a test in t3400-rebase.sh which creates an ambiguous branch
name and rebases it implicitly with 'git rebase $other'.
