Sign-off added should be that of the "committer", not that of the
"commit's author"; that is how the rest of Git adds sign-off using
sequencer.c::append_signoff().
Use the correct logical variable that identifies the committer.

Add a simple example that replaces an outdated example
that was removed. This ensures that there's at the least
a simple example that illustrates what could be done
using the hook just by enabling it.
Also, update the documentation.

The sample hook to prepare the commit message before
a commit allows users to opt-in to add the sign-off
to the commit message. The sign-off is added at a place
that isn't consistent with the "-s" option of "git commit".
Further, it could go out of view in certain cases.
Add the sign-off in a way similar to "-s" option of
"git commit" using git's interpret-trailers command.
It works well in all cases except when the user invokes
"git commit" without any arguments. In that case manually
add a new line after the first line to ensure it's consistent
with the output of "-s" option.

It's always nice to have named variables instead of
positional variables as they communicate their purpose
well.
Appropriately name the positional variables of the hook
to make it easier to see what's going on.

Prepare the 'preare-commit-msg' sample script for
upcoming changes. Preparation includes removal of
an example that has outlived it's purpose. The example
is the one that comments the "Conflicts:" part of a
merge commit message. It isn't relevant anymore as
it's done by default since 261f315b ("merge & sequencer:
turn "Conflicts:" hint into a comment", 2014-08-28).
Further update the relevant comments from the sample script
and update the documentation.

The hook templates were still using/referencing 'git-foo' instead of
'git foo.' This patch updates the sample hooks to use the modern
conventions instead.

The hook script templates were hard coded to use /bin/sh and perl.
This patch ensures that they use the same tools specified for the rest
of the suite.
The impetus for the change was noticing that, as shipped, some of the
hooks used shell constructs that wouldn't work under Solaris' /bin/sh
(eg: $(cmd...) substitutions).

The perldiag(1) has following to say about this:
"Can't do inplace edit without backup"
(F) You're on a system such as MS-DOS that gets confused if
you try reading from a deleted (but still opened) file. You
have to say -i.bak, or some such.

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but
some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not.
This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample
(but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation
(instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but
now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.
