format-patch: learn format.forceInBodyFrom configuration variable
As the need to use the "--force-in-body-from" option primarily is tied to which mailing list the mails go to (and get their From: address mangled), it is likely that a user who needs to use this option once to interact with their upstream project needs to use it for all patches they send out. Add a configuration variable, suitable for setting in the local configuration file per repository, for this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
