Teach commit about CHERRY_PICK_HEAD

Previously the user was advised to use commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after
a conflicting cherry-pick. While this would preserve the original
commit's authorship, it would sadly discard cherry-pick's carefully
crafted MERGE_MSG (which contains the list of conflicts as well as the
original commit-id in the case of cherry-pick -x).

On the other hand, if a bare 'commit' were performed, it would preserve
the MERGE_MSG while resetting the authorship.

In other words, there was no way to simultaneously take the authorship
from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.

This change fixes that situation. A bare 'commit' will now take the
authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
If the user wishes to reset authorship, that must now be done explicitly
via --reset-author.

A side-benefit of passing commit authorship along this way is that we
can eliminate redundant authorship parsing code from revert.c.

(Also removed an unused include from revert.c)
