Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public
sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in
builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special
cases of a general sequencer operation.  The cherry-pick builtin is
now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before
calling into sequencer_pick_revisions().  In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:

  memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
  opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
  opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs));
  parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts);
  init_revisions(opts.revs);
  sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts);

This patch does not intend to make any functional changes.  Check
with:

  $ git blame -s -C HEAD^..HEAD -- sequencer.c | grep -C3 '^[^^]'
