rebase: add --reset-author-date

r1walz · gitster · commit fe28ad8520a0 · 2019-11-02T15:37:12.000+09:00
The previous commit introduced --ignore-date flag to interactive
rebase, but the name is actually very vague in context of rebase -i
since there are two dates we can work with. Add an alias to convey
the precise purpose.
