history: re-edit a squash with every message

By default "git history squash" reuses the oldest commit's message.
When --reedit-message is given it only reopened that one message, so the
messages of the folded-in commits were lost.

Gather the messages of every commit in the range, oldest first, and use
them as the editor template when re-editing, mirroring how "git rebase
-i" presents a squash.

+The oldest commit's message and authorship are preserved by default. With
+`--reedit-message`, an editor opens pre-filled with the messages of all the
+folded commits so you can combine them. A merge commit inside the range is
 folded like any other, but the range must have a single base, so a range
 that reaches more than one entry point (for example a side branch that
 forked before the range and was later merged into it) is rejected.
