log: add --commit-header option

This lets you stick a header right before a commit, but
suppresses headers that are duplicates. This means you can
do something like:

  git log --graph --author-date-order --commit-header='== %as =='

to get a marker in the graph whenever the day changes.

This probably needs some refactoring around the setup of the
pretty-print context.
