sequencer: write CHERRY_PICK_HEAD for reword and edit

`git commit` relies on the presence of CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to show the
correct error message in the case of an empty pick.  This fixes a
regression introduced by the conversion from shell to C. In the shell
version everything was a cherry-pick as far as the sequencer code was
concerned so it always wrote CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. The conversion to C
forgot to update the code that creates CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. We do not want
to create CHERRY_PICK_HEAD for fixup and squash commands as that would
prevent `git commit --amend` from running.

Note that the error message shown by `git commit` for an empty pick
during a rebase is currently wrong as it talks about running `git
cherry-pick --skip` rather than `git rebase --skip`. This will be fixed
in a future commit which is why the tests are in t3403-rebase-skip.sh.
