editor: add a function to launch the sequence editor

As part of the rewrite of interactive rebase, the sequencer will need to
open the sequence editor to allow the user to edit the todo list.
Instead of duplicating the existing launch_editor() function, this
refactors it to a new function, launch_specified_editor(), which takes
the editor as a parameter, in addition to the path, the buffer and the
environment variables.  launch_sequence_editor() is then added to launch
the sequence editor.
