refactor how commits are created, as well as how reference following is done
In light of the upcoming combine commit feature, it will be necessary to have
more fine-grained control over how commits are created and stored. This change
attempts to address that, by adding a CommitBare method, which the Commit method
then uses. CommitBare merely creates and stores a commit, without updating HEAD.
Since Commit now has to figure out the parent commit of the HEAD, and deal with
the case of HEAD not being set (a new repo, or an orphan branch), the logic for
reference traversal had to be refactored some as well.

normalize how git commits are interacted with, including changing VerifyComit -> VerifyCommits
This commit attempts to normalize git commit interactions in order to reduce
the amount of manual `GitRepo.CommitObject`, `GitRepo.TreeObject`,
`Commit.UnmarshalText`, and `Commit.Interface` calls are done, by creating a
single structure (`GitCommit`) which holds the output of those calls, and is
only created by a single method (`GetGitCommit`), which is then used by a bunch
of other methods to expand its functionality, including implementing a range
request which can be used by verify and the pre-receive hook (though it's only
used by the hook, currently).
