refactor: reduce allocations in no_mentions

This patch adds the below optimisations:

- Allocate a single formatted string for the list of commits instead of
  a mutable vector which may possibly be resized at runtime.
- Use `String::from` instead of `format!` for the warning string.
- Eliminate the `mentions_in_commits_warn` function which moved the
  vector in the parameter and allocated a new string.
