This adds support for extra headers. While git has a set of ["standard headers"] (`tree`, `parent`, `author`, `committer`, and `encoding`), it will also support [extra headers] when serializing. The extra headers must come after the standard ones, but they are otherwise freetyped. [Jujutsu] takes advantage of that to store its own identifier (`change-id`) as an extra header. Because signatures will cover the hash of the whole commit (standard headers, extra headers and the message. Everything but the signature itself), if we deserialize a commit and then `EncodeWithoutSignature` to get back the "canonical" representation of a commit, if we don't serialize back the extra headers, the hash will no longer match and the signature will fail to verify. This adds support for parsing and reencoding the extra headers from the original commit and it's expected to fix support for Jujutsu signed commits. Fixes go-git#1626 ["standard headers"]: https://github.com/git/git/blob/724518f3884d8707c5f51428ba98c115818229b8/commit.c#L1450 [extra headers]: https://github.com/git/git/blob/724518f3884d8707c5f51428ba98c115818229b8/commit.c#L1690 [Jujutsu]: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj
