Allow pull requests to be rebased from the UI

Forked from #2:

Additionally, allowing you to rebase (or even rebase-and-squash) in the UI would be great, rather than needing to go into a local copy to do so. It would be perfectly fine if this only worked in non-conflicting cases.

Another option which does not involve modifying history is merge --squash.

Rebase was implemented on GitLab EE... http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/4289653-rebase-merge-requests-in-the-web-ui (and has 92 votes)

Agreed, merge --squash would be better.

I'd prefer modified but easy to understand history over a spaghetti of branches.

+1 this breaks github web-only workflow by forcing the user to switch to CLI

[tomek-brcm]

...and pull request doesn't pick up CLI rebase so the only option is to close the pull request as "unmerged" with the comment that it actually was rebased and merged from CLI.

the only option is to close the pull request as "unmerged" with the comment

just close PR from the commit itself
