[PATCHv3 08/16] bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out rebase state

["SZEDER Gábor" <szeder@ira.uka.de>]

During an ongoing interactive rebase __git_ps1() finds out the name of
the rebased branch, the total number of patches and the number of the
current patch by executing a '$(cat .git/rebase-merge/<FILE>)' command
substitution for each.  That is not quite the most efficient way to
read single line single word files, because it imposes the overhead of
fork()ing a subshell and fork()+exec()ing 'cat' several times.

Use the 'read' bash builtin instead to avoid those overheads.
