notes: teach the -e option to edit messages in editor
Notes can be added to a commit using: - "-m" to provide a message on the command line. - -C to copy a note from a blob object. - -F to read the note from a file. When these options are used, Git does not open an editor, it simply takes the content provided via these options and attaches it to the commit as a note. Improve flexibility to fine-tune the note before finalizing it by allowing the messages to be prefilled in the editor and edited after the messages have been provided through -[mF].
