Martin Koegler 0a61779994 parse_commit_buffer: tighten checks while parsing ...

This tightens the parsing of a commit object in a couple of ways.

 - The "tree " header must end with a LF (earlier we did not
   check this condition).

 - Make sure parsing of timestamp on the "committer " header
   does not go beyond the buffer, even when (1) the "author "
   header does not end with a LF (this means that the commit
   object is malformed and lacks the committer information) or
   (2) the "committer " header does not have ">" that is the end
   of the e-mail address, or (3) the "committer " header does
   not end with a LF.

We however still keep the existing behaviour to return a parsed
commit object even when non-structural headers such as committer
and author are malformed, so that tools that need to look at
commits to clean up a history with such broken commits can still
get at the structural data (i.e. the parents chain and the tree
object).
