[PATCHv3 7/8] fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes

From

In-Reply-To
<1248834326-31488-1-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>

Introduce a 'notemodify' subcommand of the 'commit' command. This subcommand is similar to 'filemodify', except that no mode is supplied (all notes have mode 0644), and the path is set to the hex SHA1 of the given "comittish".

This enables fast import of note objects along with their associated commits, since the notes can now be named using the mark references of their corresponding commits.

The patch also includes a test case of the added functionality.

+Included in a `commit` command to add a new note (annotating a given
+commit) or change the content of an existing note.  This command has
+two different means of specifying the content of the note.
+
+External data format::
+	The data content for the note was already supplied by a prior

++
+Here `<dataref>` can be either a mark reference (`:<idnum>`)
+set by a prior `blob` command, or a full 40-byte SHA-1 of an
+existing Git blob object.
+
+Inline data format::
+	The data content for the note has not been supplied yet.
+	The frontend wants to supply it as part of this modify
+	command.

+....
