With this change the prepare-commit-msg hook can compare the log of a
commit being amended with the staged changes, and not run mklog.py
unnecessarily. This is controlled by a git config option,
gcc-config.mklog-hook-type.
contrib/ChangeLog:
* prepare-commit-msg: Use the gcc-config.mklog-hook-type Git
config key instead of the GCC_FORCE_MKLOG environment variable.
Optionally disable generating a new ChangeLog template for
amended commits when the existing log is still OK.
# otherwise, assume a new commit with -C.
