[feature request] have variables inside commit templates/messages

[catalin560]

have something like ${files} that would list the updated files and output something like this: "Body.jsx, Navbar.jsx, Footer.jsx"
maybe have some params to limit the number of files, something like ${files:3} which would output "Body.jsx, Navbar.jsx, Footer.jsx and 7 other files", or another example ${files:1} to output "Body.jsx and 9 other files"
possible usage "Modified ${files:3} that are new" to output "Modified Body.jsx, Navbar.jsx, Footer.jsx and 7 other files that are new"

Done. Users can use follow parameters in commit template:

• ${files_num} will be replaced with staged changes count
• ${files} will be replaced with changed file paths
• ${files:N} will be replaced with top N changed file paths and with and {TOTAL - N} other files at end of replaced string.

Hello @love-linger it seems there is a bug in the ${files:N} logic

it seems to only enumerate the 1st file
this happens on version 8.34 of SourceGit
