Add support for supplying the -m option with --fixup. Doing so has
errored out ever since --fixup was introduced. Before this, the only
way to amend the fixup message while committing was to use --edit and
amend it in the editor.
The use-case for this feature is one of:
* Leaving a quick note to self when creating a --fixup commit when
it's not self-evident why the commit should be squashed without a
note into another one.
* (Ab)using the --fixup feature to "fix up" commits that have already
been pushed to a branch that doesn't allow non-fast-forwards,
i.e. just noting "this should have been part of that other commit",
and if the history ever got rewritten in the future the two should
be combined.
In such a case you might want to leave a small message,
e.g. "forgot this part, which broke XYZ".
When the --fixup option was initially added the "Option -m cannot be
combined" error was expanded from -c, -C and -F to also include
--fixup[1]
Those options could also support combining with -m, but given what
they do I can't think of a good use-case for doing that, so I have not
made the more invasive change of splitting up the logic in commit.c to
first act on those, and then on -m options.
