Make it easy to create "amend!" commits

Browse source 
To support this, we turn the confirmation prompt of the "Create fixup commit"
command into a menu; creating a fixup commit is the first entry, so that
"shift-F, enter" behaves the same as before. But there are additional entries
for creating "amend!" commits, either with or without file changes. These make
it easy to reword commit messages of existing commits.

Don't confuse this with the lowercase "f" command ("Fixup commit"); that one
squashes the selected commit into its parent, this is not what we want here.
## Creating amend commits
There's a special type of fixup commit that uses "amend!" instead of "fixup!" in
the commit message subject; in addition to fixing up the original commit with
changes it allows you to also (or only) change the commit message of the
original commit. The menu that appears when pressing shift-F has options for
both of these; they bring up a commit message panel similar to when you reword a
commit, but then create the "amend!" commit containing the new message. Note
that in that panel you only type the new message as you want it to be
eventually; lazygit then takes care of formatting the "amend!" commit
appropriately for you (with the subject of your new message moving into the body
of the "amend!" commit).
## Squashing fixup commits
