[PATCH v4 07/44] builtin-am: extract patch and commit info with git-mailinfo

For the purpose of applying the patch and committing the results, implement extracting the patch data, commit message and authorship from an e-mail message using git-mailinfo.

git-mailinfo is run as a separate process, but ideally in the future, we should be be able to access its functionality directly without spawning a new process.

Notes:
    v4
    
    * The word "patch" was overloaded to mean "the RFC2822 mail" and the
      "patch diff". To avoid confusion, we use "mail" to mean "the RFC2822
      mail", and thus parse_patch() has been renamed to parse_mail().
    
    * To discourage people touching the code from modifying the contents of
      the author_name, author_email, author_date and msg fields, as well as
      to make any modifications to them stick out to reviewers, they have
      been changed to char*.
    
    * Besides parse_mail(), the msg field can also be modified in other ways
      such as from am_load(), and in interactive mode when implemented in a
      later patch. At these points, users may sneak in NUL bytes in the
      commit message. As such, we need to store the "msg_len" as well so as
      to properly error out should the user sneak in any NUL bytes, rather
      than ignore the rest of the buffer after the NUL byte.
    
      * To aid in this, reading and writing to the "final-commit" file has
        been factored out into read_commit_msg() and write_commit_msg()
        functions that will properly set the msg_len field as well.
    
    * Restructuring of write_author_script() so only one strbuf needs to be
      used.
