commit: advertise config --global --edit on guessed identitymm/config-edit-global

When the user has no user-wide configuration file, it's faster to use the
newly introduced config file template than to run two commands to set
user.name and user.email. Advise this to the user.

The old advice is kept if the user already has a configuration file since
the template feature would not trigger in this case.
