If the user uses a prepare-commit-msg hook to add comments to the commit message template and sets commit.cleanup to remove them when the commit is created then the comments will not be removed when rebase commits the final command in a chain of "fixup" commands[1]. This happens because f7d42ceec52 (rebase -i: do leave commit message intact in fixup! chains, 2021-01-28) started passing the VERBATIM_MSG flag when committing the final command in a chain of "fixup" commands. That change was added in response to a bug report[2] where the commit message was being cleaned up when it should not be. The cause of that bug was that before f7d42ceec52 the sequencer passed CLEANUP_MSG when committing the final fixup. That commit should have simply removed the CLEANUP_MSG flag, not changed it to VERBATIM_MSG. Using VERBATIM_MSG ignores the user's commit.cleanup config when committing the final fixup which means it behaves differently to an ordinary "pick" command which respects commit.cleanup.
Fix this by not setting an explicit cleanup flag when committing the final fixup which matches the way "pick" commands behave. The test added in f7d42ceec52 is replaced with one that checks that "fixup" and "pick" commands do not clean up the message when commit.cleanup is not set and do clean up the message when it is set.
