status: do not report errors in sequencer/todo

commit 4a72486de9 ("fix cherry-pick/revert status after commit",
2019-04-16) used parse_insn_line() to parse the first line of the todo
list to check if it was a pick or revert. However if the todo list is
left over from an old cherry-pick or revert and references a commit that
no longer exists then parse_insn_line() prints an error message which is
confusing for users [1]. Instead parse just the command name so that the
user is alerted to the presence of stale sequencer state by status
reporting that a cherry-pick or revert is in progress.

Note that we should not be leaving stale sequencer state lying around
(or at least not as often) after commit b07d9bfd17 ("commit/reset: try
to clean up sequencer state", 2019-04-16). However the user may still
have stale state that predates that commit.

Also avoid printing an error message if for some reason the user has a
file called `sequencer` in $GIT_DIR.
