format-patch: teach --cover-from-description option

Before, when format-patch generated a cover letter, only the body would
be populated with a branch's description while the subject would be
populated with placeholder text. However, users may want to have the
subject of their cover letter automatically populated in the same way.

Teach format-patch to accept the `--cover-from-description` option and
corresponding `format.coverFromDescription` config, allowing users to
populate different parts of the cover letter (including the subject
now).

The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
format.coverFromDescription::
The default mode for format-patch to determine which parts of
the cover letter will be populated using the branch's
description. See the `--cover-from-description` option in
linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
format.signature::
The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.

--cover-from-description=<mode>::
Controls which parts of the cover letter will be automatically
populated using the branch's description.
+
If `<mode>` is `message` or `default`, the cover letter subject will be
populated with placeholder text. The body of the cover letter will be
populated with the branch's description. This is the default mode when
no configuration nor command line option is specified.
+
If `<mode>` is `subject`, the first paragraph of the branch description will
populate the cover letter subject. The remainder of the description will
populate the body of the cover letter.
+
If `<mode>` is `auto`, if the first paragraph of the branch description
is greater than 100 bytes, then the mode will be `message`, otherwise
`subject` will be used.
+
If `<mode>` is `none`, both the cover letter subject and body will be
populated with placeholder text.
--subject-prefix=<subject prefix>::
Instead of the standard '[PATCH]' prefix in the subject
line, instead use '[<subject prefix>]'. This
