Add log.abbrevCommit config variable as a convenience for users who often use --abbrev-commit with git log and friends. Allow the option to be overridden with --no-abbrev-commit.

(Also, a drive-by spelling correction in git log's short help.)

As expected, it breaks all the tests which rely on the output of show, whatchanged, and log not having abbreviated commit names. They could all be adjusted to pass '--no-abbrev-commit', but I think that's pointless churn.
