Jonathan Nieder 8f4b576ad1 Provide a build time default-editor setting
Provide a DEFAULT_EDITOR knob to allow setting the fallback
editor to use instead of vi (when VISUAL, EDITOR, and GIT_EDITOR
are unset).  The value can be set at build time according to a
system’s policy.  For example, on Debian systems, the default
editor should be the 'editor' command.
