[PATCH] git-format-patch: add --output-directory long option again

From

Additionally this fixes two minor issues:
(1) git-format-patch left an empty directory behind if an invalid
    option was given on the command line.
(2) mkdir() was called with a NULL argument (argv[argc]), if -o was
    the last option on the command line.
