Subject: [PATCH] Show a waiting status when starting an interactive rebase
 onto a ref

The interactive-rebase item in the rebase-onto-ref menu ran inline on the UI
thread with no spinner, unlike its two siblings in the same menu (simple
rebase and rebase onto base branch), which already run on a worker with a
waiting status. Make it consistent.
