[PATCH (GITK)] gitk: Add a menu option to start Git Gui.

[Alexander Gavrilov]

Git Gui already has menu commands to start gitk,
and this makes the relation symmetric. Since gitk and
git-gui complement each other, I think that it is
beneficial to integrate them where it makes sense.

I think it makes more sense to have this as an item on the context
menu for the fake commit(s) for local changes.

Git Gui is useful for a lot more things than just committing changes,
e.g. you can interact with remote repositories, or do a merge, or
amend the last commit message. Also, not everyone has local change
display enabled in gitk.
