format-patch: support deep threading
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured
like
+ [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
`-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
`-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
`-+ ...
we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default). On
the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives
shallow mode, i.e.,
+ [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
|-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
|-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
...
To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named
features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch
take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output
as 'send-mail --thread'. With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as
before. Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same
semantics.
