Description
Allow interaction with COMMIT_EDITMSG UI from the Command line. This would allow users with other source control workflows to use the built in commit editor for other tools. For instance I could use it with Arcanist and Phabricator/Phorge.
It would need similar functionality to "code -r -w" so as to allow the tool to see the edited message has been saved and move on.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing VS Code command-line behavior described by code -r -w and how the COMMIT_EDITMSG UI is opened. Define the expected interaction for an external tool such as Arcanist or Phabricator/Phorge, including how it detects that the edited message was saved and can continue.
