Create a new commit object and write it to the object database.
Note that the message will not be cleaned up automatically. You
may wish to use the git_message_prettify API to clean it up.
This API provides the most control for generating commit objects;
this is useful if (for example) you have a tree object already.
If you have staged changes, and just want to emulate git commit
on the command line, then git_commit_create_from_stage may be a
simpler option.
