[PATCH v3 3/5] pretty-format %(trailers): fix broken standalone "valueonly"

Fix %(trailers:valueonly) being a noop due to on overly eager optimization in format_trailer_info() which skips custom formatting if no custom options are given.

When "valueonly" was added in d9b936db522 (pretty: add support for "valueonly" option in %(trailers), 2019-01-28) we forgot to add it to the list of options that optimization checks for. See e.g. the addition of "key" in 250bea0c165 (pretty: allow showing specific trailers, 2019-01-28) for a similar change where this wasn't missed.

Thus the "valueonly" option in "%(trailers:valueonly)" was a noop and the output was equivalent to that of a plain "%(trailers)". This wasn't caught because the tests for it always combined it with other options.

Fix the bug by adding !opts->value_only to the list. I initially attempted to make this more future-proof by setting a flag if we got to ":" in "%(trailers:" in format_commit_one() in pretty.c. However, "%(trailers:" is also parsed in trailers_atom_parser() in ref-filter.c.

There is an outstanding patch[1] unify those two, and such a fix, or other future-proofing, such as changing "process_trailer_options" flags into a bitfield, would conflict with that effort. Let's instead do the bare minimum here as this aspect of trailers is being actively worked on by another series.

Let's also test for a plain "valueonly" without any other options, as well as "separator". All the other existing options on the pretty.c path had tests where they were the only option provided. I'm also keeping a sanity test for "%(trailers:)" being the same as "%(trailers)". There's no reason to suspect it wouldn't be in the current implementation, but let's keep it in the interest of black box testing.
