phabricator: combine commit messages into the review when folding commits

No visible changes here, until an option to enable it is added to `phabsend`.

This combines the Differential fields like Arcanist does, rather than simply
concatenating the text blocks.  Aside from populating everything properly in the
web interface, Phabricator fails the review create/update if repeated fields are
seen as would happen with simple concatenation.

On the flip side, now that the Summary and Test Plan fields can contain data
from multiple commits, we can't just join these fields together to determine if
an amend is needed.  If that were to happen, every single commit in the folded
range would get amended with the combined commit message, which seems clearly
wrong.  Aside from making a minor assumption about the content of the
Differential Revision field (it seems they allow some minor variances with
spacing), this means that for folded reviews, you can't post it, go to the web
page add a missing Test Plan, and then get it added to the commit message by
re-posting it.  I don't think that's a big deal.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
