Use the correct logical variable that identifies the committer.

This fixes a small issue when trying to do the following with the script
enabled,
$ git commit --amend -s
If the commit being amended was signed off by the commit's author then the
above command
would *append* the sign-off of the committer followed by that of the commit's
author.
That' because the script is invoked only after the sign-off is added by the
'-s' option AND
the default of 'trailer.ifexists' for interpret-trailers currently defaults
to the 'addIfDifferentNeighbor'
thus interpret-trailer fails to identify the existing sign-off of the
commit's author and adds it.
The background knowledge provided up to here seems like
a valuable information that we'd want to preserve in the commit
history, i.e. make it part of the commit message?
I didn't do that previously expecting a few people would get confused by
this (it did turn out
to be true). I could have made it more clearer but didn't attempt as I
thought it wasn't worth
the effort. Yeah, it sometimes takes time to *simplify* things.
I guess Junio's suggestion found below seems concise enough although it
doesn't
capture the reason I did the change.
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().
