Add support for linting a range of commits natively.

This allows user to specify a range of commits using the --commits
cli option. It currently accepts either an individual commit hash
(eg: gitlint --commits 6f29bf8) or a range of commits using the git
range syntax (eg: gitlint --commits 9c6f70d...HEAD).

Fixes jorisroovers#14.
