Parse tree and parent commit header entries separately so the logic for
deciding where to save the IDs can be removed. Save all parents in an array.

Change the main loop to first parse all header entries before printing
them. Makes the cg-log output more independent of the order of the git
commit header.

URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20050604144242.GL12615%40diku.dk
In-Reply-To: <20050604143831.GD12615@diku.dk>

```
By handling -u in the commit parsing loop no extra git-cat-file call is
necessary. Keep the line-based matching scheme so that it is still possible
to restrict searches by using prefixing the search string with either
'author' or 'committer' (e.g. -u'author.*miciah').

This change also magically removes trailing empty lines from commit logs.

Handling of -f is done inide the loop so no extra git-cat-file call is
necessary. Store file arguments to cg-log in an array to make them easier
to access from print_commit_log().

```
When passing -s to cg-log each log entry is summarized in one line. The line
carries info about commit date, author, first log line and the commit id. It
will look something like the following (with only:

  2005-05-20 11:46 Linus Torvalds   sparse cleanup   e99d59ff0bff349ef20...

The result ends up being 130 chars wide however the commit id is placed so
that it can easily be hidden if line wrapping in the pager is enabled.
