From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>

There are two functions that have very similar logic of finding a header value. find_commit_header, and find_header. We can conslidate the logic by using find_commit_header and replacing the logic in find_header.

Introduce a new function find_header_max, which is equivalent to find_commit_header except it takes a len parameter that determines how many bytes to read. find_commit_header can then call find_header_max with 0 as the len.

This cleans up duplicate logic, as the logic for finding header values is now all in one place.

    Consolidate find_header logic into one function
    
    This addresses the NEEDSWORK comment in builtin/receive-pack.c:
    
     /**
       * NEEDSWORK: reuse find_commit_header() from jk/commit-author-parsing
       * after dropping "_commit" from its name and possibly moving it out
       * of commit.c
       **/
    
    
    There is some duplicated logic between find_header and
    find_commit_header that can be consolidated instead of having two places
    in the code that do essentially the same thing. For the sake of simpler
    and more DRY code, use find_commit_header and rename it to find_header
    since it is not limited to finding headers for only commits.
    
    Changes since v2:
    
     * s/find_header_max/find_header_mem
     * moved "len" argument right next to "msg" agument in find_header_mem
     * removed special condition in find_header_mem to check for line == 0
