[PATCH v5 42/44] builtin-am: implement legacy -b/--binary option

From
Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>

The -b/--binary option was initially implemented in 087b674 (git-am: --binary; document --resume and --binary., 2005-11-16). The option will pass the --binary flag to git-apply to allow it to apply binary patches.

However, in 2b6eef9 (Make apply --binary a no-op., 2006-09-06), --binary was been made a no-op in git-apply. Following that, since cb3a160 (git-am: ignore --binary option, 2008-08-09), the --binary option in git-am is ignored as well.

In 6c15a1c (am: officially deprecate -b/--binary option, 2012-03-13), the --binary option was tweaked to its present behavior: when set, the message:

	The -b/--binary option has been a no-op for long time, and it
	will be removed. Please do not use it anymore.
will be printed.
Re-implement this in builtin/am.c.
