t3400: demonstrate failure with format.useAutoBase

Ever since bb52995f3e (format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase
configuration, 2016-04-26), `git rebase` has been broken when
`format.useAutoBase = true`. It fails when rebasing a branch:

fatal: failed to get upstream, if you want to record base commit automatically,
please use git branch --set-upstream-to to track a remote branch.
Or you could specify base commit by --base=<base-commit-id> manually
error:
git encountered an error while preparing the patches to replay
these revisions:

    ede2467cdedc63784887b587a61c36b7850ebfac..d8f581194799ae29bf5fa72a98cbae98a1198b12

As a result, git cannot rebase them.

Demonstrate that failure here.
