[PATCH] guilt: update reflog with annotations of guilt-command being run

Many of the updates made by guilt use git update-ref, which means that the output of "git reflog" is extremely unedifying, e.g:

ff0031d HEAD@{177}: reset: moving to ff0031d848a0cd7002606f9feef958de8d5edf19 90f4305 HEAD@{178}: a638d43 HEAD@{179}: ff0031d HEAD@{180}: 079788d HEAD@{181}: 87a6280 HEAD@{182}: 5b9554d HEAD@{183}: de9e918 HEAD@{184}: reset: moving to de9e9181bc066d63d78b768e95b5d949e2a8673a 5b9554d HEAD@{185}:

So teach guilt to use the "set_reflog_action" helper, and since git-update-ref doesn't respect the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable, use its -m option so that "git reflog" can look like this instead:

1eaa566 HEAD@{11}: guilt-push: track-more-dependencies-on-transaction-commit ab714af HEAD@{12}: guilt-push: move-lockdep-tracking-to-journal_s 7a4b188 HEAD@{13}: guilt-push: move-lockdep-instrumentation-for-jbd2-handles 78d9625 HEAD@{14}: guilt-push: respect-nobarrier-mount-option-in-nojournal-mode d08854f HEAD@{15}: guilt-pop: updating HEAD d08854f HEAD@{16}: guilt-pop: updating HEAD d08854f HEAD@{17}: guilt-push: optimize-ext4_should_retry_alloc-to-improve-ENOSPC-performance
