Make git-cherry handle root trees

This patch on top of 'next' makes built-in git-cherry handle root
commits.

It moves the static function log-tree.c::diff_root_tree() to
tree-diff.c and makes it more similar to diff_tree_sha1() by
shuffling around arguments and factoring out the call to
log_tree_diff_flush().  Consequently the name is changed to
diff_root_tree_sha1().  It is a version of diff_tree_sha1() that
compares the empty tree (= root tree) against a single 'real' tree.

This function is then used in get_patch_id() to compute patch IDs
for initial commits instead of SEGFAULTing, as the current code
does if confronted with parentless commits.
