Preserve commit message whitespace/indentation on MR Pages

Thomas Randolph requested to merge tor/defect/preserve-mr-commit-line-indent into master

What does this MR do and why?

Switches the MR display of commits to use whitespace: pre-wrap instead of whitespace: pre-line.

Using pre-wrap allows lines to preserve their leading (and trailing! and intermediary!) whitespace while still supporting line-wrapping.

For #402697 (closed)
