revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state
To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to remove the sequencer state. Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner; "git reset" uses it later in this series. Introducing this public API is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.
