commit: give correct advice for empty commit during a rebase

In dcb500dc16c (cherry-pick/revert: advise using --skip, 2019-07-02),
`git commit` learned to suggest to run `git cherry-pick --skip` when
trying to cherry-pick an empty patch.

However, it was overlooked that there are more conditions than just a
`git cherry-pick` when this advice is printed (which originally
suggested the neutral `git reset`): the same can happen during a rebase.

Let's suggest the correct command, even during a rebase.

While at it, we adjust more places in `builtin/commit.c` that
incorrectly assumed that the presence of a `CHERRY_PICK_HEAD` meant that
surely this must be a `cherry-pick` in progress.

Note: we take pains to handle the situation when a user runs a `git
cherry-pick` _during_ a rebase. This is quite valid (e.g. in an `exec`
line in an interactive rebase). On the other hand, it is not possible to
run a rebase during a cherry-pick, meaning: if both `rebase-merge/` and
`sequencer/` exist or CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and REBASE_HEAD point to the same
commit , we still want to advise to use `git cherry-pick --skip`.
