[PATCH 10/14] revert: Persist data for continuation

Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or "git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits. To implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation, we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at the beginning. Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan. These new files are unrelated to the existing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, which will still be useful when a conflict is encountered.
