[PATCH v3 1/2] commit: reorganise commit hint strings

From
Hu Jialun <hujialun@comp.nus.edu.sg>

Message-ID
<20210709180732.2678818-1-hujialun@comp.nus.edu.sg>

Strings of hint messages inserted into editor on interactive commit was scattered in-line, rendering the code harder to understand at first glance.

Extract those messages out into separate variables to make the code outline easier to follow.
