When looking for the start of the trailers in the message
we are passed, we should ignore the first line of the message.

The reason is that if we are passed a patch or commit message
then the first line should be the patch title.
If we are passed only trailers we can expect that they start
with an empty line that can be ignored too.

This way we can properly process commit messages that have
only one line with something that looks like a trailer, for
example like "area of code: change we made".
