cli: proxy write_commit_summary() of immutable context through workspace helper

I'm going to add 'format_commit_summary(commit) -> String' to replace
short_commit_description(), and it's fundamentally the same as
'write_commit_summary()' except where the output will go. The problem of
adding such method to WorkspaceCommandHelper is that it's super easy to
use wrong repo ref while transaction is in progress. This problem could
be avoided by passing repo ref explicitly, but other methods like
resolve_revset() have the same problem.

One idea to prevent such API misuse is to exclusively borrow the helper:
'start_transaction(&'a mut self) -> Wrapper<'a>'. That's doable, but I'm
not certain that it is the right way to go. Anyway, this isn't the problem
only applies to write_commit_summary(), so I decided to add a convenient
wrapper to WorkspaceCommandHelper.
