Subject: bug#28637: [PATCH] Display commit in package description, if available

From: David Glasser <[email-masked]>

MELPA includes a :commit field in its
packages (https://github.com/melpa/package-build/pull/6). You can use
this to tell if MELPA has processed a recently-merged change.  This
commit adds that metadata to the package description buffer.
