[PATCH] format-patch: fix skipping of blank-lines (take 2)

If it is fed a commit with more than one leading blank lines, the sed scripts git-format-patch-script used looped forever. Using git-stripspace upfront makes the sed script somewhat simpler to work around this problem.

Also use git-rev-parse so that we can say
    $ git-format-patch-script HEAD^^^^
to prepare the latest four patches for e-mail submission.

 I first thought it would be an overkill, but it lets me cheat in
 the sed script.  Thanks for the suggestion.
