[PATCH 3/5] pretty format %(trailers): add a "keyonly"

Add support for a "keyonly". This allows for easier parsing out of the key and value. Before if you didn't want to make assumptions about how the key was formatted. You'd need to parse it out as e.g.:

    --pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00)' \
                       '%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'

And then proceed to deduce keys by looking at those two and subtracting the value plus the hardcoded ": " separator from the non-valueonly %(trailers) line. Now it's possible to simply do:

    --pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,keyonly)' \
                    '%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'

Which at least reduces it to a state machine where you get N keys and correlate them with N values. Even better would be to have a way to change the ": " delimiter to something easily machine-readable (a key might contain ": " too). A follow-up change will add support for that.
