Allow edit of empty message with commit --amend
"git commit --amend" used on a commit with an empty message fails unless -m is given, whether or not --allow-empty-message is specified. Allow it to proceed to the editor with an empty commit message. Unless --allow-empty-message is in force, it will still abort later if an empty message is saved from the editor (this check was already necessary to prevent a non-empty commit message being edited to an empty one). Add a test for --amend --edit of an empty commit message which fails without this fix, as it's a rare case that won't get frequently tested otherwise.
