replay: introduce new builtin

For now, this is just a rename from `t/helper/test-fast-rebase.c` into
`builtin/replay.c` with minimal changes to make it build appropriately.

Let's add a stub documentation and a stub test script though.

Subsequent commits will flesh out the capabilities of the new command
and make it a more standard regular builtin.

+=============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-replay - EXPERIMENTAL: Replay commits on a new base, works with bare repos too
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+(EXPERIMENTAL!) 'git replay' --onto <newbase> <oldbase> <branch>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Takes a range of commits, specified by <oldbase> and <branch>, and
+replays them onto a new location (see `--onto` option below).
+
+THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--onto <newbase>::
+	Starting point at which to create the new commits.  May be any
+	valid commit, and not just an existing branch name.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+For a successful, non-conflicted replay, the exit status is 0.  When
+the replay has conflicts, the exit status is 1.  If the replay is not
+able to complete (or start) due to some kind of error, the exit status
+is something other than 0 or 1.
