[PATCH] sequencer: honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION

Message-ID
<pull.746.git.git.1585773096145.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

There is a lot of code to honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION throughout git, including some in sequencer.c; unfortunately, reflog_message() and its callers ignored it. Instruct reflog_message() to check the existing environment variable, and use it when present as an override to action_name().

Also restructure pick_commits() to only temporarily modify
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION for a short duration and then restore the old value,
so that when we do this setting within a loop we do not keep adding "
(pick)" substrings and end up with a reflog message of the form
    rebase (pick) (pick) (pick) (finish): returning to refs/heads/master

    sequencer: honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
    
    I'm not the best with getenv/setenv. The xstrdup() wrapping is
    apparently necessary on mac and bsd. The xstrdup seems like it leaves us
    with a memory leak, but since setenv(3) says to not alter or free it, I
    think it's right. Anyone have any alternative suggestions?
