commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the commit message
When using the '-v' option of "git commit" the diff added to the commit message temporarily for editing is stripped off after the user exited the editor by searching for "\ndiff --git " and truncating the commmit message there if it is found. But this approach has two problems: - when the commit message itself contains a line starting with "diff --git" it will be truncated there prematurely; and - when the "diff.submodule" setting is set to "log", the diff may start with "Submodule <hash1>..<hash2>", which will be left in the commit message while it shouldn't. Fix that by introducing a special scissor separator line starting with the comment character ('#' or the core.commentChar config if set) followed by two lines describing what it is for. The scissor line - which will not be translated - is used to reliably detect the start of the diff so it can be chopped off from the commit message, no matter what the user enters there. Turn a known test failure fixed by this change into a successful test; also add one for a diff starting with a submodule log and another one for proper handling of the comment char.
