Add a command line option --in-place to support in-place editing akin to
sed -i. This allows to write commands like the following:
git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" a.txt > b.txt && mv b.txt a.txt
in a more concise way:
git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" --in-place a.txt

The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of
a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer
block.
* cc/trailers-corner-case-fix:
trailer: support multiline title
We currently ignore the first line passed to `git interpret-trailers`,
when looking for the beginning of the trailers.
Unfortunately this does not work well when a commit is created with a
line break in the title, using for example the following command:
git commit -m 'place of
code: change we made'
That's why instead of ignoring only the first line, it is better to
ignore the first paragraph.

"interpret-trailers" helper mistook a single-liner log message that
has a colon as the end of existing trailer.
* cc/trailers-corner-case-fix:
trailer: retitle a test and correct an in-comment message
trailer: ignore first line of message
When looking for the start of the trailers in the message
we are passed, we should ignore the first line of the message.
The reason is that if we are passed a patch or commit message
then the first line should be the patch title.
If we are passed only trailers we can expect that they start
with an empty line that can be ignored too.
This way we can properly process commit messages that have
only one line with something that looks like a trailer, for
example like "area of code: change we made".

Make sure we look for trailers before any conflict line
by reusing the ignore_non_trailer() function.

And add a few other tests for some special cases.
