Hi all,

please review this patch that adds the new command `git hg-export`. The `git hg-export` command prints information
about a Git commit in the format expected by `hg import` (i.e. it is very similar to the `hg export --git` command).
This command is primarily useful for backporting changes from a Git repository to a Mercurial repository as a
backporter can now run:

$ git clone https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk
$ cd jdk
$ git hg-export <REV> | hg -R /path/to/hg/repo/for/jdk11u-dev import -

The command `git hg-export` will output the commit message in the format used by the OpenJDK Mercurial repositories.
The command will also output the correct author and date.

Testing:
- [x] Manual testing of `git hg-export` on Linux x64

Thanks,
Erik
