sequencer: allow introducing new root commits

Browse Source 
In the context of the new --rebase-merges mode, which was designed
specifically to allow for changing the existing branch topology
liberally, a user may want to extract commits into a completely fresh
branch that starts with a newly-created root commit.

This is now possible by inserting the command `reset [new root]` before
`pick`ing the commit that wants to become a root commit. Example:

	reset [new root]
	pick 012345 a commit that is about to become a root commit
	pick 234567 this commit will have the previous one as parent

This does not conflict with other uses of the `reset` command because
`[new root]` is not (part of) a valid ref name: both the opening bracket
as well as the space are illegal in ref names.
