[PATCH 3/6] revert: Parse instruction sheet more cautiously

Fix a buffer overflow bug by checking that parsed SHA-1 hex will fit in the buffer we've created for it. Also change the instruction sheet format subtly so that a description of the commit after the object name is optional. So now, an instruction sheet like this is perfectly valid:

  pick 35b0426
  pick fbd5bbcbc2e
  pick 7362160f
