In ea9882bfc4 (commit: disable status hints when writing to
COMMIT_EDITMSG, 2013-09-12) the intent was to disable status hints
when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG, because giving the hints in the "git
status" like output in the commit message template are too late to
be useful (they say things like "'git add' to stage", but that is
only possible after aborting the current "git commit" session).
But there is one case that the hints can be useful: When the current
attempt to commit is rejected because no change is recorded in the
index. The message is given and "git commit" errors out, so the
hints can immediately be followed by the user. Teach the codepath
to honor the configuration variable.

When the test naming convention was documented[1] the commit script
was not renamed.
Update the test description to note that the tests fall into four
general categories: template, sign-off, -F and squash tests.
Chose to not add "File" to the new script name as that did not seem to
convey the current test contents for that switch.
