Show number of TODO items for interactive rebase

During 'rebase -i', one wrong edit in a long rebase session
might inadvertently drop commits/items. This change shows
the total number of TODO items in the comments after the
list. After performing the rebase edit, total item counts
can be compared to make sure that no changes have been lost
in the edit.
