This reverts commit f9afc77f.

Reason for revert: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=864301#c10

Original change's description:
> Reland "gclient_scm: Use cherry-picking instead of rebasing."
> 
> The failures were caused by:
>  1 - When one change (call it #2) has been uploaded on top of another (#1),
>      and (#1) has already landed, git cherry-pick complains that the range
>      '<merge-base>..<change #2>' contains empty commits, since the contents
>      of (#1) are already present in the tree.
>  2 - We did not abort the cherry-picking when 'git cherry-pick' failed,
>      so a failure made all further CLs in that bot fail.
> 
> This CL fixes it and prevents further regressions.

> Original change's description:
> > gclient_scm: Use cherry-picking instead of rebasing.
> >
> > Currently gclient might include extra commits when applying patches.
> > For example, in this case we checkout |patch| and rebase it on top of |base|,
> > thus including an |extra commit| that we shouldn't.
