Problem: vim-patch commits lack an informative title and summary in the
very first line of the commit message when the vim-revision is a Git SHA
hash, unlike when is a Vim version. This makes it difficult to discern
at a glance what changes are introduced by such vim-patch commits (in
git log, PR title, changelog generated by git-cliff, etc.).
BEFORE:
vim-patch:abcdef123456
runtime(vim): improve performance
<some details>
...
Solution: Repeat the title of the upstream commit message, to improve
the clarity and visibility of the commit message.
AFTER:
vim-patch:abcdef123456: runtime(vim): improve performance
<some details>
...
Note: the `vim-patch:<hash>` token is still needed by `vim-patch.sh`
(but not necessarily in the very first line of the commit message) to
determine which vim patches have been applied. `<hash>` is internally
normalized to 7 hex digits.
