filter-branch: introduce convenience function "skip_commit"

With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits
(such as temporary commits).  It does _not_ undo the changeset
corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision.  IOW
no tree object is changed by this.

If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all
intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can
now do this with

git filter-branch --commit-filter '
if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null;
then
skip_commit "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";
fi' newbranch
