Merge branch 'jc/format-patch-reroll'
Teach "format-patch" to prefix v4- to its output files for the
fourth iteration of a patch series, to make it easier for the
submitter to keep separate copies for iterations.

format-patch: give --reroll-count a short synonym -v
format-patch: document and test --reroll-count
format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option
get_patch_filename(): split into two functions
get_patch_filename(): drop "just-numbers" hack
get_patch_filename(): simplify function signature
builtin/log.c: stop using global patch_suffix
builtin/log.c: drop redundant "numbered_files" parameter from make_cover_letter()
builtin/log.c: drop unused "numbered" parameter from make_cover_letter()
