Currently, append_signoff() performs a search for the last line of the commit buffer by searching back from the end until it hits a newline. If it reaches the beginning of the buffer without finding a newline, that means either the commit message was empty, or there was only one line in it. In this case, append_signoff will skip the call to has_conforming_footer since it already knows that it is necessary to append a newline before appending the sob. Let's perform this function inside of has_conforming_footer where it appropriately belongs and generalize it so that we require that the footer paragraph be an actual distinct paragraph separated by a blank line.
