[PATCH 2/3] git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to git-mailsplit.

The behaviour of git-mailsplit, which is called from git-am for patches in mbox format, has been changed in commit c2ca1d79. The new default behaviour will remove `\r` from line endings with `\r\n`.

If applying patches with the following command sequence
   git format-patch --stdout ... | git am ...

in repositories having files with dos and unix line endings, git-mailsplit must be called with `--keep-cr` parameter.

This patch adds the command line parameter `--keep-cr` for git-am and the configuration `am.keepcr`.
