sequencer: extract revert message formatting into shared function

The logic for formatting revert commit messages (handling "Revert" and
"Reapply" cases, appending "This reverts commit <ref>.", and handling
merge-parent references) currently lives inline in do_pick_commit().
The upcoming replay --revert mode needs to reuse this logic.

Extract all of this into a new sequencer_format_revert_message()
function. The function takes a repository, the subject line, commit,
parent, a use_commit_reference flag, and the output strbuf. It handles
both regular reverts ("Revert "<subject>"") and revert-of-revert cases
("Reapply "<subject>""), and uses refer_to_commit() internally to
format the commit reference.

Update refer_to_commit() to take a struct repository parameter instead
of relying on the_repository, and a bool instead of reading from
replay_opts directly. This makes it usable from the new shared function
without pulling in sequencer-specific state.
