rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10 correctlyjk/rebase-i-squash-count-fix

We generate the squash commit message incrementally running
a sed script once for each commit. It parses "This is
a combination of <N> commits" from the first line of the
existing message, adds one to <N>, and uses the result as
the number of our current message.

Since f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of
squash for translation, 2016-06-17), the first line may be
localized, and sed uses a pretty liberal regex, looking for:

  /^#.*([0-9][0-9]*)/

The "[0-9][0-9]*" tries to match double digits, but it
doesn't quite work.  The first ".*" is greedy, so if you
have:

  This is a combination of 10 commits.

it will eat up "This is a combination of 1", leaving "0" to
match the first "[0-9]" digit, and then skipping the
optional match of "[0-9]*".

As a result, the count resets every 10 commits, and a
15-commit squash would end up as:

  # This is a combination of 5 commits.
  # This is the 1st commit message:
  ...
  # This is the commit message #2:
  ... and so on ..
  # This is the commit message #10:
  ...
  # This is the commit message #1:
  ...
  # This is the commit message #2:
  ... etc, up to 5 ...

We can fix this by making the ".*" less greedy. Instead of
depending on ".*?" working portably, we can just limit the
match to non-digit characters, which accomplishes the same
thing.
