[PATCH 4/3] shortlog: handle multi-line subjects like log --pretty=oneline et. al. do

From

<7vocynz8y6.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

The commit message parser of git shortlog used to treat only the first non-empty line of the commit message as the subject. Other log commands (e.g. --pretty=oneline) show the whole first paragraph instead (unwrapped into a single line).

For consistency, this patch borrows format_subject() from pretty.c to make shortlog do the same.
