[PATCH v2] rebase -i: do leave commit message intact in fixup! chains

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 6e98de72c03 (sequencer (rebase -i): add support for the 'fixup' and 'squash' commands, 2017-01-02), this developer introduced a change of behavior by mistake: when encountering a `fixup!` commit (or multiple `fixup!` commits) without any `squash!` commit thrown in, the final `git commit` was invoked with `--cleanup=strip`. Prior to that commit, the commit command had been called without that `--cleanup` option.

Since we explicitly read the original commit message from a file in that case, there is really no sense in forcing that clean-up.

We actually need to actively suppress that clean-up lest a configured `commit.cleanup` may interfere with what we want to do: leave the commit message unchanged.
