object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation

To name a commit, you can now say

	$ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"'

and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose
commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix.

For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated
specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with
a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit
which starts with '!Hello World', use

	$ git show ':/!!Hello World'

* A colon, followed by a slash, followed by a text: this names
a commit whose commit message starts with the specified text.
This name returns the youngest matching commit which is
reachable from any ref. If the commit message starts with a
'!', you have to repeat that; the special sequence ':/!',
followed by something else than '!' is reserved for now.
