[PATCH v4 07/15] sequencer: add "do_fast_forward()" to perform a fast forward

From: Stephan Beyer <redacted>

This function is a thin wrapper around "reset_almost_hard()".
It is usefull because it will help reduce a little the shell
code line count.

This code is taken from the sequencer GSoC project:

git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git

(at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079)

but the messages have been changed a little to be the same as
those displayed by "git-rebase--interactive.sh".
