[PATCH v4fixed 2/5] am: improve author-script error reporting

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If there are errors in a user edited author-script there was no
indication of what was wrong. This commit adds some specific error messages
depending on the problem. It also relaxes the requirement that the
variables appear in a specific order in the file to match the behavior
of 'rebase --interactive'.
