rebase -i: clean error message for --continue after failed exec
After an "exec false" stops the rebase and gives the control back to the user, if changes are added to the index, "rebase --continue" fails with this message, which may technically be correct, but does not point at the real problem: .../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of .git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit. Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird senario where the author script exists but can't be read.
