[v2,5/5] rebase: add --reset-author-date

Commit Message

From: Rohit Ashiwal <[e-mail]>

The previous commit introduced --ignore-date flag to rebase -i, but the
name is rather vague as it does not say whether the author date or the
committer date is ignored. Add an alias to convey the precise purpose.
