git-gui: remove lines starting with the comment character

The comment character is specified by the config variable 'core.commentchar'. Any lines starting with this character is considered a comment and should not be included in the final commit message. Teach git-gui to filter out lines in the commit message that start with the comment character using git-stripspace. If the config is not set, '#' is taken as the default. Also add a message educating users about the comment character. Signed-off-by: Pratyush Yadav <me@yadavpratyush.com>
