This patch allows people to set `commit.verbose` to implicitly send `--verbose` to `git commit`. It also introduces `--no-verbose` to override the configuration setting.

Subject: [PATCH] commit: support commit.verbose and --no-verbose
Add a new configuration variable commit.verbose to implicitly pass
`--verbose` to `git-commit`. Add `--no-verbose` to commit to negate that
setting.
