When a commit is reverted (or cherry-picked with -x) we add an English
sentence recording that commit id in the new commit message. Make
these real trailer lines instead so that they are more friendly to
parsers (especially "git interpret-trailers").

A reverted commit will have a new trailer

     Revert: <commit-id>

Similarly a cherry-picked commit with -x will have

     Cherry-Pick: <commit-id>

I think this is a good idea though I wonder if it will break someones script that is looking for the messages generated by -x at the moment. I've got a couple of comments below.

  I think standardizing how we record commit ids in the commit message
  is a good idea. Though to be honest this started because of my irk of
  an English string "cherry picked from..." that cannot be translated.
  It might as well be a computer language that happens to look like
  English.

As revert currently records the parent given on the command line when reverting a merge commit it would probably be a good idea to add that either as a separate trailer or to the Revert: trailer and possibly also generate it for cherry picks.

If the message already contains trailers then should we just append the Revert trailer those rather than inserting "\n\n"?
