[PATCH 3/5] builtin/commit.c: use xstrdup_or_null instead of envdup

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

The only reason for envdup to be its own function is that we have to save the result in a temporary string. With xstrdup_or_null, we can feed the result of getenv() directly.

These ones need the temporary. Is the result more readable, or less?
