amend: use an explicit commit message for temporary amending commit

Before this changeset, the extra commit created during amend had
the same description as the final commit. This was a bit confusing
when trying to understand what that extra commit was about.

This changeset changes the description of such commit to:

    temporary amend commit for <ammend-commit-hash>

The old behaviour was not a big deal, but would become more confusing
once we use obsolescence marker instead of stripping the precursors.

This also helps if the user restores a strip backup.
