If a commit message template is set with...
git config commit.template /path/to/some/file.txt
...this fills the commit message box (and therefore, later, the external
editor) with the contents of that file, as long as you don't have something
more interesting typed there already.
Like the `git commit` command, this doesn't let you create a commit that has
just the template as its message, unchanged. Unlike the `git commit` command,
not being able to read the template file is not fatal: specifically, if the
commit.template setting is pointed at a file that does not exist, this does
nothing.
Resolves gitui-org#546.

git commit uses a default template for commit messages that the
commit.templateconfig allows the user to overwrite:https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration
it should be fairly easy to use that config in gitui and pre-populate a commit msg text
