commit: enable --secret option

At the moment, creating secret commits is slightly cumbersome. They
can either be created by changing the default commit phase to secret
or by doing `hg phase --secret --force`. Both of these make secret
commits appear to be like some kind of advanced feature.

Secret commits, however, should be a convenient feature for people who
want to work on a private branch without affecting anyone else. There
should therefore be a prominent and convenient method for creating
secret commits.

Since the default phase is draft and there is no need to use --force
to go from a secret phase to any other phase, this patch
intentionally does not add --draft and --public options.
