[PATCH v2 1/2] pretty: add %(trailers) format for displaying trailers of a commit message

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

Recent patches have expanded on the trailers.c code and we have the builtin commant git-interpret-trailers which can be used to add or modify trailer lines. However, there is no easy way to simply display the trailers of a commit message.

Add support for %(trailers) format modifier which will use the trailer_info_get() calls to read trailers in an identical way as git interpret-trailers does. Use a long format option instead of a short name so that future work can more easily unify ref-filter and pretty formats.

Add documentation and tests for the same.
