Jeff King 7b35eaf8c5 sequencer: simplify memory allocation of get_message ...

For a commit with sha1 "1234abcd" and subject "foo", this
function produces a struct with three strings:

 1. "foo"

 2. "1234abcd... foo"

 3. "parent of 1234abcd... foo"

It takes advantage of the fact that these strings are
subsets of each other, and allocates only _one_ string, with
pointers into the various parts. Unfortunately, this makes
the string allocation complicated and hard to follow.

Since we keep only one of these in memory at a time, we can
afford to simply allocate three strings. This lets us build
on tools like xstrfmt and avoid manual computation.

While we're here, we can also drop the ad-hoc
reimplementation of get_git_commit_encoding(), and simply
call that function.
