var: add GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR variable
The editor program used by Git when editing the sequencer "todo" file
is determined by examining a few environment variables and also
affected by configuration variables. Introduce "git var
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR" to give users access to the final result of the
logic without having to know the exact details.
This is very similar in spirit to 44fcb497 (Teach git var about
GIT_EDITOR, 2009-11-11) that introduced "git var GIT_EDITOR".
