format-patch: page output with --stdout

Pass output through the pager if format-patch is run with --stdout. This
saves the user the trouble of running git with '-p' or piping through a
pager.

setup_pager() already checks if stdout is a tty, so we don't have to
worry about behaviour if the user redirects/pipes stdout. Paging can
also be disabled with the config

  [pager]
      format-patch = false

Add tests to check for these behaviour.
